838.0. "error opening !ad file" by TRCT20::CURTAIN () Tue Jun 09 1992 19:55

    Has anyone seen the error message "error opening !ad file"?
    It happens when I type in ALLIN1 at DCL.

838.1$ SET WATCH FILES/CLASS=MAJORIOSG::PYEGraham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's ApprenticeTue Jun 09 1992 20:0818
    The best way to find out what the problem is, is to use the DCL command
    $ SET WATCH FILES/CLASS=MAJOR (Needs CMKRNL) before starting up the
    image. Then you'll see which file we were trying to get to.
    
    Likely possibilities are:
    
    	User is an administrator (in profile) but doesn't have OA$ADMIN
    	right in AUTHORIZE.
    
    	The image isn't installed with privs, or some of the logicals
    	aren't defined /EXEC.
    
    	There's something wrong with the versions or protections of the
    	image or the language image if it's multi-lingual.
    
    But set watch is best!

    Marsha,
    
    Either your ALL-IN-1 logicals are defined in SUPERVISOR mode in the
    SYSTEM table (they should be in EXEC) or PROFILE.DAT is protected
    against you for some reason - there are quite a few reasons for this
    like protection being wrong, system resources, images not installed etc
    
    If you don't know how to check those against the documentation I'll see
    if I can find a STARS article on it.

    Small nit: Graham's syntax won't work, you have to write
    $ SET WATCH FILE/CLASS=MAJOR    (FILES won't work)
    
    And since this is not documented, it might be added that you turn it off
    with $ SET WATCH FILE/CLASS=NONE
    
    Also don't forget:
    
    $ ALLIN1/NOINIT
    CMD> OA$INI_INITIALIZE
    CMD> EXIT
    
    which I find useful to start with in cases like this, it can give 
    good error messages.
