About the Directory Path

The directory path specifies the area on the host machine in which the item library or libraries are to be stored. If desired, more than one specific item type may be stored in the same library by specifying the same directory path, as long as all of the item types use the same library storage scheme (Normal or Delta).

For libraries located on a UNIX system, the directory path must be an absolute path ending with a /, for example:

/usr/user1/libraries/type_src/

For libraries located on a Windows system, the directory path must be a an absolute path ending with a \, for example:

c:\usr\user1\libraries\type_src\

For libraries located on z/OS, refer to the document Dimensions for z/OS User's and Administrator's Guide for details on creating VSAM datasets and bringing these datasets 'online'. For details of defining nodes using the Network Administration Tool, refer to the System Administration Guide.
