"Drawer" problem in ALL-IN-1 V3.0
Looking for input or procedure on Renaming JUST the VMS username/
directory NOT the ALL-IN-1 profile. I have 2 users with the same
lastname (diff first names..) on the same system. One account is
just "lastname" the other is "lastname_initial".. e.g. DOE and DOE_S.
I want to rename DOE to DOE_M --reason being DOE_S complaining that
DOE is receiving his Vaxmail.. A simple task? not quite..
Here's what I did - I renamed the DOE account to DOE_M at the VMS
Level (UAF and directory structure), and modified the ALL-IN-1 profile
and made the necessary changes there. I "thought" I could change the
owner of the Drawer, but couldn't. Changed the account back. So,
I decided to utilize the RNA option in ALL-IN-1 and although I did not
want to change the profile name, i did and entered the "new" VMS name.
It renamed the account , so I proceeded to rename the profile back and
"Skip" the VMS field (to retain the username I wanted..)
Well, after logging into the user's account and into ALL-IN-1 I could
no longer view his file cabinet and received the error - "Error
setting drawer logical". Again, I changed the account back to its
original state thinking everything would be fine, but I still received
the above error. It seemed like it was probably a pointer problem
somewhere and the account got messed up.
Given the advice from a few technical people, I restored
OA$DATA:PARTITION.DAT from the previous night's backup. The account
was fine after that.
I still need to accomplish what I set out to do. Is there a hidden
option in ALL-IN-1 to do this or a workaround ? Any help would be
greatly appreciated!!
Thanks alot! /Judy

Did you re-seed the changed users partition entry? One of the fields
in the partition record is the VMS directory that the drawer lives in.
I know the drawer name wouldn't have changed, but this field would
have.

Judy,
Out of interest why didn't you use Edit USer to change the VMS account
details - rename user is a bit of an overkill for that - and then do
the VMS stuff down at VMS level.

RE:.2
You still need to re-seed, even for edit user. I guess there ought
to be a MUA menu option to reseed.

I did the command you showed and get the following message:
Please check the log file SYS$MANAGER:OAFC$SERVER.LOG but there is
no new file getting created.
It looks like I had one user fail.
Thanks in advance,

Seeding uses the FileCab Server, and the command OAFC talks to
the FileCab Server too. See if you have an object 73 in NCP,
check OAFC$*.LOG for errors, try starting the server manually
and see what it doesn't like.

| 1035.9 | No filecab object here | KYOA::LAZARUS | KYOA Technical users | Fri Nov 27 1992 07:54 | 4 |
I have no such object in my NCP database. Should I create one? Why
didn't the install create one?
What do you mean by starting the server manually?

Nop. The server creates the object. No server, no object.
> What do you mean by starting the server manually?
Cut / paste from old note (from Bob H):
" To get more information you can start the server directly from your
process. Do the following:
$ srv :== $sys$system:oafc$server
$ srv p1
where p1 is the name of your server configuration file, probably
oa$data_share:server_config.dat.
Check sys$manager:oafc$server.log and
sys$manager:oafc$server_error.log"
Hope thsi helps,
Jan

| 1035.16 | Empty file cabinet file,but main folder created | KYOA::LAZARUS | KYOA Technical users | Sun Dec 06 1992 06:56 | 17 |
Re last few.
Thank you for your comments. Whenever possible,I try to get my answers
from Notesfiles.
I have read quite a few notes and this is what I've done:
I created a filecabinet server on two other nodes in my cluster,using
SM MFC MS. Then I ran the seed procedure and created the user's main
drawer.
Unfortunately the user stillhas an empty filecab.dat file so I won't
know until his next login whether he can see his files.
As you can probably realize,I am not experienced at ALL-IN-1 system
management.
