1556.0. "Drawer does not exist" by KIRKTN::GMURRAY (Have Mercy I Cry City !) Mon Oct 05 1992 12:19

    Hi,
    
    Just completed the 3.0 upgrade, and having one or two problems...
    
    All accounts so far have seeded correctly except one. He has no MAIN
    drawer. EMC and WP forms are bog-standard Digital elements. I tried
    using :
    
    	  <get    #oafc_seed_user = "LUKE.DEREK"
    	  <do oa$lib:oafc$part_seed
    
    But get the error  "Drawer does not exist".
    
    I then tried moving his FILECAB.DAT out of the way and doing it again, 
    but got the same message.
    
    Any suggestions ?
    
    Thanks,

1556.1Check the profile?IOSG::STANDAGEOink...Oink...MoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooMon Oct 05 1992 12:3423
    
    
    Gil,
    
    Check the partition seeding log file :
    
    OA$LIB:OAFC$PART_SEED.LOG
    
    It may well just say that it failed to seed the drawer, but it's worth
    checking just in case.
    
    Also, look at the users profile entry and ensure that all the fields
    are valid and correct. In particular, that the user's LANGUAGE field
    has an entry.

1556.2why no main?IOSG::CARLINDick Carlin IOSG, Reading, EnglandMon Oct 05 1992 13:1212

    If the account didn't have a MAIN drawer, then that's the message you
    would expect (was it actually "Drawer directory does not exist"?). Do
    you have any idea why the account does not have a main drawer, or is
    that what you're asking us? Is it possible to look at his ALL-IN-1
    directory (PROFIL.DIRECT["LUKE.DIRECT"] and see if the usual DOCDB.DAT
    etc are there?
    
    Did this account work before the upgrade?

1556.3Profile OK, DOCDB etc OK...KIRKTN::GMURRAYHave Mercy I Cry City !Mon Oct 05 1992 14:2833
    
    Hi Kevin, Dick,
    
    	I checked the logs - the upgrade log entry just looks like :
    
        LOVE.THOMAS         MANU_DISK:[TLOVE.ALLIN1]                      1
        LUKE.DEREK          MANUFACTURING_DISK:[DLUKE.ALLIN1]             0
        LYALL.STEVEN        PURCHASING_DISK:[SLYALL.ALLIN1]               0
    
    	Just noticed - there's another failure. All but 8 accounts seeded
    OK, in fact.
    
    	The individual "LUKE.DEREK" log entries look basically the same, no
    extra information there unfortunately.
    
    	I checked his profile entry, and all seems to be OK, including the
    Language entry - set to BRITISH.
    
    	Dick,
    
    	The message was "Drawer does not exist". I understand that during
    the upgrade the script OAFC$PART_SEED.SCP runs to create a MAIN drawer
    to house all the docs in the users' old v2.4 file cabs. This has worked
    OK for all except 8 users, including LUKE.DEREK. I'm afraid I have no 
    idea why the drawer hasn't been created. His account was apparently
    working fine before the upgrade. DOCDB.DAT and DAF.DAT etc are all
    there.
    
    	Cheers,

1556.4Directory Protections?SAHQ::WOLFEJohn Wolfe - (404)-924-6463Mon Oct 05 1992 18:218
	Check the protections on the user MFD directory as well as their
	ALLIN1 subdirectory.  We have noticed several occasions where the
	partition seeding will fail if system has no access.

	HTH

	John
1556.5That was it !MASALA::GMURRAYHave Mercy I Cry City !Mon Oct 05 1992 18:2512
    
    	Hi John,
    
    	Bingo !
    
    	ALLIN1 subdirectory protection had no SYSTEM access. Granting
    	S:RWED was all it took to successfully seed the drawer.
    
    	Many thanks to all,
