linkfset

Use the linkfset command to create a junction to connect a name in a directory of a parent file set to the root directory of a child fileset. You must have Administrator authority to use this command.

As a prerequisite, the file system must be mounted and the junction path must be under the mount point of the file system. A dependent file set that is contained within an owner fileset can be linked only inside its owner path or in a directory tree of the owner path. A fileset without an owner can be linked anywhere in the file system.

Although a junction is displayed as a directory, you cannot issue directory commands to remove a junction. Use the unlinkfset command instead.

Example: Linking a fileset

The following command links the fileset that is named eefset01+eefs+kq458mv.ibm+00000200A2A0153C+0 to the path /ibm/eefs/eefsetdir01.
tpctool> linkfset -fileset eefset01+eefs+kq458mv.ibm+00000200A2A0153C+0 
-path /ibm/eefs/eefsetdir01 -user admin -pwd password -url localhost:9550

The following output is returned:
