SYMPTOMS
When a user has not been added to the AS400 System Distribution Directory, the following error message occurs on the SNA Server computer when trying to browse to the folders on the AS400 system:

No Folders found in .



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 .

To add the AS400 User ID to the System Distribution Directory, do the following:  Log on to the AS400 system as a security administrator or security officer. On the AS400 command line, type the following, and then press the ENTER key:

WRKDIRE

 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. 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.</li></ol>

NOTE: The "ADDDIRE" command can also be used on the AS400 system to accomplish the same task in a similar way. Additional steps may be needed for this. For further information on that procedure, refer to the AS400 online Help or IBM documentation on System Distribution Directory.
