Shared File System (SFS) lets CMS users use CMS files that do not reside on their minidisks. Instead, these files reside in hierarchical directories that are similar to the directories under MS‑DOS.
SFS files physically reside in a database a SFS file server virtual machine owns. CMS users never link to the minidisks containing their SFS files. They simply use the access command to access these directories. The user works using the normal CMS command and macro set.
Each SFS file server manages a collection of SFS files known as a filepool. There is only one filepool per SFS server machine. Every user must know the name of the filepool where the files they want to access reside.
Most CMS commands require you to refer to files as filename, filetype, and filemode. Normally, users access the directory where the file resides at a CMS filemode exactly as they do for a minidisk.
To access a file called MY DATA that is owned by TLCAMS in filepool PAYROLL, the user enters:
ACCESS PAYROLL:TLCAMS.B XEDIT MY DATA B
