NFS configuration

NFS must run on both the system hosting the services used for FileAct processing and on the SAG or RFH workstation:

For the NFS server, check the following NFS server control data sets:
attributes data set
The attributes data set specifies attributes that determine how the NFS server transfers files. Set the following NFS attributes:
binary
This attribute indicates that the file or data set is transferred in binary mode; that is, without data conversion. Because any character conversion required to transfer files is performed by FTM SWIFT functions, mount the NFS in binary mode.
hfs(prefix)
This attribute indicates that a request is for an HFS file. The prefix is appended to the directory to be exported when the export statement is issued, and to the mount command issued at the SAG or RFH workstation. The default prefix is /hfs.
security(mvs_option,hfs_option,public_option)
This attribute lets you define the security options to be used by the NFS server for z/OS data sets, HFS data, and public data (that is, data that is to be accessed using the public file handle). Because the MSIF services use NFS only to share an HFS directory, only the second security option (the one for HFS) is applicable. Specify EXPORTS for this option, for example: 
security(SAFEXP,EXPORTS,SAFEXP)
NFS uses the user ID of the client request to check the z/OS UNIX permission bits for the data in the HFS directory specified in the exports data set.
exports data set
The exports data set specifies the name of the HFS directory on the NFS server system that is to be shared by the SAG or RFH workstation. This data set must contain the statement: 
prefix/dir -access=hostname
where:
prefix
The prefix specified for the hfs attribute in the attributes data set.
dir
The HFS directory to be shared by the MSIF services and the SAG or RFH.
hostname
The TCP/IP host name of the SAG or RFH workstation.
Example: 
/hfs/SYSTEM/fileact/data -access=fileact
