CAUSE ===== The AS400 User ID that is used for the SNA Server Shared Folders definition must be added to the AS400 System Distribution Directory when you set up the SNA Server Shared Folders. RESOLUTION ========== Make sure that the AS400 is configured correctly and that the account has permissions to access shared folders on .

On the AS400 command line, type the following, and then press the ENTER key: WRKDIRE 3. When the "Work with Directory Entries" screen appears, on the "Opt" line, type "1" (Add). In the "User ID" field, type the AS400 User ID, and in the "Address" field, type the address. Press the ENTER key. 4. When the "Add Directory Entry" screen appears (this is the basic information required to add the User ID to the System Distribution Directory), press the ENTER key.
