Exercise 12.1: Mapping a network drive

First you copy the WebFacing project files to a WebSphere Application Server, Version 5.1. These first steps are the same for WebSphere Application Server for iSeries, Version 5.1 and the WebSphere Application Server for iSeries Express, Version 5.1.

Before you export any files, you must map a network drive to the Root file system on the iSeries where WebSphere Application Server is installed.

To map a network drive:

  1. Right-click the Network Neighborhood or (My Network Places) icon on the desktop.
  2. Select Map Network drive on the pop-up menu.

    The Map Network Drive dialog opens.
    Map Network drive dialog

  3. In the Folder field, enter two backslashes \\ and the Netserver name of your Web server, and then \QIBM, for example: \\S400A\QIBM.
  4. Click Finish.

    You now have an additional drive available on your workstation and are ready to export your WebFacing project files.

You have mapped a network drive and opened the Export wizard and now you are ready to begin Exercise 12.2: Exporting your EAR file.
