1488.0. "Error in DOCDB, ERROR - there is no DOCDB.DAT file in drawer" by GIDDAY::SETHI (Man from Downunder) Wed Sep 23 1992 10:45

    Hi All,
    
    A customer was using rooted logical in ALL-IN-1 Version 3.0. They had a
    few problems and changed the directory specification to over come
    the problems.  The error message displayed was "Error in DOCDB" and the
    MAIN draw could not be accessed.
    
    For example they had a logical called disk$user1 that equated to
    disk$user1:[state.], so the directory spec was updated to
    disk$user1:[state.username.a1].
    
    When PT was run the following error messages was displayed
    
    ERROR - there is no DOCDB.DAT file in drawer:  [ACTUSER1]MAIN -
    Directory: DISK$USER1:[ACTUSER1.A1]  
    
    ERROR - there is no DAF.DAT file in drawer:  [ACTUSER1]MAIN -
    Directory: DISK$USER1:[ACTUSER1.A1]  
    
    The directory should have been called DISK$USER1:[STATE.ACTUSER1.A1]
    
    To get around the problem the customer had to use the Manage Draw
    option than REM.  Than add the draw to the Partition for each user.  Is
    their is an easier way around this problem ?
    
    Thanks

    Hi Sunil,
    
    Unfortunately there is no direct UI to do what you want, only the two
    step approach you found. However from the API it is easy in that you
    can:
    
     write change partition unique_name="[ACTUSER1]MAIN", -
                  directory = "DISK$USER1:[STATE.ACTUSER1.A1]"
    
    Also we have updated the MUA Edit option so that if an account has its
    directory changed then this updating of the partition will be done
    automatically. This change will be in the PFR, and hopefully one day in
    a patch.
    
    Cheers
