From X: Drive to RDMS

Even though the UWP is a Windows OS, you can still use the iCommands to benefit from its various functionalities, speed and efficiency via the LWP. The X: drive is available under /media/$USER in the LWP. $USER refers to your P or S number. However, X: drive is not immediately visible to user. In order to activate and make your X: drive accessible first you need to execute the following command in your home directory:

$ ls -l /media/$USER

Each time you log in to your LWP environment you need to repeat the same command. After executing it you will see the content of your X: drive.
