The zexplore application

          


This ONTAPI explorer utility allows you to try out all the documented APIs from a Windows dialog. Handy for getting to know the API set, and for seeing what the raw output looks like when it comes back from the Netapp appliance. The zapitab.cpp file is automatically generated by NetApp's build process, and will vary from release to release. Historical note: the internal project name for the ONTAPI API set when it was under initial development was "Zephyr", hence both it and "zapi" (and the "z" in "zexplore") show up as identifiers occasionally.


Notes

The RPC transport layer will not work without the ntapadmin.dll file in the DLL search path of the application. We've copied it into the same directory as zexplore itself in the SDK. If you wish to use zexplore outside the SDK, we recommend copying the file /bin/nt/ntapadmin.dll to the %systemroot%/system32 directory on your machine.

The RPC transport layer will also not work unless you are an administrator, either in the filer's domain, or on the filer itself. You can add yourself as an admin on the filer by adding your SID (use "wcc -v -s username" to find it out) to the filer's /etc/lclgroups.cfg file in the administrators category.

Debug version of zexplore depends on MFC42D.DLL, MSVCRTD.DLL, MFC042D.DLL. Ensure these dlls are available in %systemroot%system32 directory on your machine.
