DB2 Data Links Manager Quick Beginnings

4. Verifying the sample file is controlled by DLFF

To verify that the psmith.bmp sample file we created earlier is under the control of the Data Links File Filter:

1. Log on to the system using any user account other than the DB2 Data Links Manager Administrator or the DLFM1 user account.
2. Verify that the linked Data Links file is now controlled by the Data Links File Manager by entering the following command:

      type \\unc_name\controlled_file
   

   where:

   • unc_name is the fully qualified location of the file that is under the control of a Data Links Filesystem Filter on the Data Links server.
   • controlled_file is the filename of the file that you want to control on the Data Links server.

   For our example, enter the following command:

      type \\dlmserver\cdrive\pictures\psmith.bmp
   

   If the file is being controlled by the Data Links File Manager, you will see output similar to the following:

      \\dlmserver\cdrive\pictures\psmith.bmp
      Access is denied.
   

3. Log out.
