2054.0. "Delete VMS fails if A1 dir = UAF dir .." by TAV02::CHAIM (Semper ubi Sub ubi .....) Sun Jan 10 1993 13:30

ALL-IN-1 V2.4

Is there a restriction that deleting an ALL-IN-1 account and the corresponding
VMS account will fail if both the UAF directroy and the ALL-IN-1 directory are
the same?

It appears that in this case, mua_del_vms will fail since the ALL-IN-1
directory will already have been deleted and since this is the UAF directory as
well, it will fail when it attempts to delete this directory.

Thanks,

Cb.

2054.1MUA_DEL_DIR can cope if the directory doesn't existSCOTTC::MARSHALLIt's raining againMon Jan 11 1993 10:019
    When you say it "will fail", do you mean that you have actually tried
    it and it does fail, or that it is just your supposition that it might
    fail?  If the former, where exactly does it fail?
    
    The routine called to delete directory structures (MUA_DEL_DIR.COM) is
    intelligent enough to cope if the directory it is asked to deleted does
    not exist, so I'm not sure what you think will fail?

2054.2Fixed in V3.0 ...TAV02::CHAIMSemper ubi Sub ubi .....Mon Jan 11 1993 10:2911
My original question has become academic:

I just tested this on a V3.0 system and the delete completes successfully and
mails a "warning" message to the manager to the affect that no files were
deleted during the deletion of the VMS account.

Bravo..

Thanks,

In V2.4 it does fail. A customer encountered the problem, and I tried doing the
same thing on our V2.4 system. It fails in MUA_DEL_VMS.COM.

    >> In V2.4 it does fail
    
    OK, I didn't have access to V2.4 to test it.  But as you point out,
    it's fixed in V3.0, so everyone should be happy now! :-)
