SQL Services view for IFS shares

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Have need for an SQL view to list share and path information on an IBM i server.


Use Case:

SOX auditors want us to monitor for /ROOT shares created on the system, because they see these as a security threat.

I've created a homegrown view utilizing the QZLSLSTI API, but when I tried to access this UDTF with an SQL view wrapper remotely from one machine to another, it intermitently caused an endless loop of jobs in the OS, which disabled the LPAR until it could be purged. So, I'm going back to a more traditional, but more cumersome method of gathering all of the share data from our multiple LPAR's.
