2258.0. "co-existing system problem" by CROCKE::YUEN (Banquo Yuen, Darwin Australia) Mon Feb 15 1993 08:11

    Hello
    
    I am going to install a co-existing ALL-IN-1 V3.0 in our
    client site and I want to make sure something before that.
    
    1. All the account (A1$XFER_IN,A1$XFER_OUT,OAFC$DEFAULT,
       OAFC$SERVER,A1$SCRIPT) seem to belong to the co-existing
       system after the installation, right?
    
       a. Does this mean that the user cannot perform account
          transfer before the co-existing system is removed?
    
       b. The installation guide suggest we should perform the
          upgrade (from V2.4 to V3.0) before removing the
          co-existing system, what will happen to these
          account?
    
    2. Obviously the user would not want the account in the
       co-existing system go into the DDS but they still want to
       test the search mail directory functions etc.
    
       a. Will zero for the mail directory level prevent account
          in the co-existing system going into the DDS?
    
       b. Can I specify the mail directory level to be 1 and then
          remove the UA (OA$node$ALLIN1) afterward?
    
       c. What about I shut down DDS during the installation?
    
    3. I have looked at a co-existing system somewhere and they use
       A2 as the MR mailbox for the co-existing system.  But when
       I look at the installation guide, there isn't a question asking
       the name of the MR mailbox, only the password of the MR
       mailbox will be asked, then how can I specify the name of the
       MR mailbox?
    
    And, how can I find out the latest patch status for the
    ALL-IN-1 version 3.0?
    
    Thank you very much

2258.1Not that i've ever gone co-ex but...AIMTEC::WICKS_AWALES 10 England 9Mon Feb 15 1993 16:2930
    banquo,
    
    1. obviously the new accounts A1$SCRIPT etc belong to the v3.0 system
       since they didn't exist in v2.4. I thought that the XFER accounts
       belonged to v2.4.
    
       a) co-ex is for testing only, not for moving things to or from.
    
       b) they get blown away and recreated for your newly upgraded v2.4
          to v3.0 system.
    
    2. the mail managment guide says 0 allows the user to do enquiries but
       not updates - so from your v3.0 system you can still do lookups
       in the dds database.
       YOu won't be able to do updates unless you build a whole mirror
       database with a UA called OA1$node$ALLIN1 and subscriber entries
       owned by it but then these 'test' subscribers could be seen by 
       the v2.4 system as 'duplicate' and you don't want that do you?
       Why would you want to shutdown DDS? 
    
    3. Don't know maybe it's a manual post-install task.
    
    P.S they are literally tens of notes in this notesfile mentioning
        that ALL-IN-1 v3.0-1 the first and so far only ALL-IN-1 v3.0
        patch has shipped.

2258.2Mailbox name in A1CONFIGIOSG::PYEGraham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's ApprenticeMon Feb 15 1993 17:497
    3. The installation defaults the mailbox name to be A1 (or A2 for co-ex
    systems). If you want to change it, you can either edit the A1CONFIG
    file, using the form of the same name, or you can redefine the mailbox
    logical OA$MTI_MAILBX in the SITE startup file. I'm sure this is
    documented somewhere.

2258.3A word about Transfer UserIOSG::TALLETTGimmee an Alpha colour notebook...Tue Feb 16 1993 09:069
    
    	It doesn't really matter where the transfer directories point
    	as long as the manager can write to them. As long as you don't
    	mix up the transfers, I would expect both systems to happily
    	share the same areas. Of course, when you do the upgrade, users
    	"in transit" would probably be affected.
