If you have enabled Fileshare security, you must first give the enterprise server a valid Fileshare user name and password. These must be specified in the FS user name and FS password fields of the enterprise server's SIT. The enterprise server uses this user name and password combination to log on to all its Fileshare Servers. The combination must appear in the password file for each Fileshare server the enterprise server wants to access.

Next you should name the servers the enterprise server is to connect to. For data files you can have a choice of mechanisms for doing this:

• Entries in the File Control Table (FCT) of the Resource Definition File (RDF)
• Entries in the Fileshare client configuration file, fhredir.cfg

For extrapartition transient data queues and intrapartition transient data and temporary storage queues you must name the servers in the RDF; refer to Specifying Fileshare Servers in the RDF for more information. If you do not explicitly name the servers in the RDF, and you have an entry in the fhredir.cfg file that simply names a server (/s servername), then all file requests that do not have an explicit Fileshare server defined will be redirected to the named Fileshare server. If you are running multiple enterprise servers this will cause file contention problems.

Finally, you must specify the protocols over which the region communicates with its servers. You do this in the client configuration file fhredir.cfg.

MSS consults the fhredir.cfg file whenever a region requires a resource from a server. You should not, therefore, change this file while any regions using servers defined by it are running.

For full details of fhredir.cfg entries and examples see the chapters Standard Operation and Configuration in your Fileshare Guide
