1974.0. "Archiving doesn't, then loops" by KERNEL::LOAT (Ahead groove factor 5! Yeah!) Wed Dec 16 1992 11:26

    
    VMS 5.5 ALL-IN-1 3.0
    
    The ALL-IN-1 system manager is running the archiving housekeeping
    procedure, and every time it attempted to archive a document, the error
    
    "%OA-W-NOARCAREA, noarchive filename given on command line."
    
    appears in the log file. I thought that the archive area was checked
    before the arcghive went ahead and I can't find any mention of the
    error.
    
    Can anyone shed any light on this?
    
    Also, during the same procedure, the archiving run looped on a certain
    users file cabinet. It ran through his file cabinet and processed 127
    document, and then it did the same 127 again, and again, and again...
    
    Anyone seen this before? Ideas?
    
    Steve.

1974.1IOSG::MAURICEIs there life on IOSG?Wed Dec 16 1992 17:3420
    Hi,
    
    I've looked in the code and you can get this error either by having
    written your own script with bad calls to the ARCHIVE functions, or,
    what seems much more likely, by having a duff directory in the archive
    area record.
    
    Type SM MAR and select the OPEN archive area, and type R to read it.
    Look at the directory field and check that the directory referred to
    does in fact exist. If it's a logical check the translation.
    
    Do also check there are no customisations.
    
    As for your loop I'd recommend putting a set_trace function call in
    oa$lib:archive.com. I don't think this problem has come up before with
    V3.0
    
    Cheers

1974.2Files missing from the [.DOC%] directories?HSKPRF::TAURIAINENWed Dec 30 1992 13:557
    Back in v2.4 time I noticed that the archive procedure could loop if
    there was an entry for a document in the users docdb but the actual
    file from the [.DOC%] directories had been deleted. I tested this in our
    local language version of 2.4 but haven't tried on a v3.0 system.
