QNTC Does Not Support All Attributes with CHGATR Command

Troubleshooting


Problem

The Change Attribute (CHGATR) command does not change all attributes on remote file servers accessed via QNTC.

Resolving The Problem

QNTC supports the setting of the following attributes using the Change Attribute (CHGATR) command by passing them to the server and surfacing them to the caller.
*HIDDEN
*PCARCHIVE
*PCSYSTEM
*READONLY
Attempting to set any attribute other than the *SETUID or *SETGID attributes will result in the operation failing. The *SETUID or *SETGID attributes will be ignored if specified.
Attempts to set an unsupported attribute using a system API results in an ENOTSUP(3440) error.
Attempts to set an unsupported attribute using the Change Attributes (CHGATR) command will result in message CPFA0AD (Function not supported by file system).

The following system attributes are among the system attributes that QNTC does
not support:

*CCSID
*ALWCKPWRT
*USECOUNT
*DISKSTGOPT
*MAINSTGOPT
*RSTDRNMUNL
*CRTOBJAUD
*SYSARCHIVE
*CRTOBJSCAN
*SCAN
*ALWSAV
