2564.0. "PAK for File Cabinet Server?" by ODIXIE::LAROE (Jeanne LaRoe DTN 385-2926) Wed Apr 14 1993 16:13

    Hi,
    
    I have just installed ALL-IN-1 V3.0 on a new system. The installation
    manual in section 10.18 refers to a PAK for the File Cabinet Server.
    The manual has both A1FSRV-DISTRIBUTED and A1FCSRV-DISTRIBUTED. I
    cannot find either of these licenses in the VTX infobase.
    
    I am also a little confused about whether or not I need a PAK for the
    File Cabinet Server. I read through this conference and noticed several
    entries regarding an object 73. I have that on my system, so does that
    mean that the File Cabinet Server is running?
    
    If I still need the PAK, what is the correct name, and where can I find
    it?
    
    Thanks,
    Jeanne

2564.1and the name is ...VNABRW::EHRLICH_KWith the Power & the GloryWed Apr 14 1993 16:3211
    Hi jeanne,
    
    	and the right name for the pak is ... A1-DIST-SHR ...
    The license is only need for 'implementing' the DSO (Distributed
    Sharing Option).
    
    For further info see the DSO README.TXT file. You can find it in TIMA STARS
    or I can copy it to your system, if you like!
    
    Have fun

2564.2Obj 73 is the FCS. No PAK neededIOSG::SHOVEDave Shove -- REO2-G/M6Wed Apr 14 1993 17:278
    If you have object 73 on your system, then the File Cab Server is
    running. The process name will be node$SRV73
    
    You only need a PAK if you want to have the Distributed Server Option
    (DSO) - this is only needed if users on another ALL-IN-1 IOS system
    want to be able to access shared drawers on your system.

2564.3thanks!ODIXIE::LAROEJeanne LaRoe DTN 385-2926Wed Apr 14 1993 18:545
    Thanks for the quick replies! I just want TeamLinks users to be able to
    access their IOS file cabinet, so we tried it out and it worked!

2564.4You're all setCHRLIE::HUSTONWed Apr 14 1993 20:1110
    
    It sounds like the 3.0 documentation is out of date. The two licenses
    you mentioned were changed to just the DSO shortly before SSB so it
    is possible that the documentation never caught up.
    
    As the other say, the only FCS license is the DSO pak and you only
    need that if you want distributed sharing.

2564.5History.....IOSG::PYEGraham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's ApprenticeThu Apr 15 1993 10:5018
    Originally, we intended that V3.0 would ship with the distribution
    included. Then fairly late on, we found a problem with how distributed
    sharing worked, but we fixed it before the kit shipped. However we
    weren't (at that stage) happy about the amount of testing we'd done to
    include it in the kit. So what we did was leave the code in, but turn
    it off with the licence. So the V3.0 kit should have had release notes
    that told you to ignore those bits of the doc. set.
    
    Later when we shipped the distributed bit, it turned out that the code
    was actually working fine (since we're all very clever engineers :-) )
    so all we needed to do was to ship the PAK that turned it on again.
    
    The documentation with the DSO "kit" should have explained the new PAK
    name.
    
    Well that was what was supposed to happen anyway....

    >>The documentation with the DSO "kit" should have explained the new
    >>PAK name.
    
    The read_me_first that comes with the DSO kit does explain the change
    in PAK name, but of course this is not much use for those people with
    just V3.0 who are thinking of purchasing the DSO option.

    Just to clarify things for me, since I was asking about something
    similar in a previous note...
    
    Is this DSO PAK required on the source, target or both nodes? That is,
    given an IOS system with with lots of docs in my file cabinet, and
    another IOS system where I would like to put some/many of them, where
    do I need to load this PAK? ie Given a DEC MTS machine where I keep 
    running up against my document quota and a non-MTS system with IOS 
    installed that I would like to move things to, does loading the "DSO"
    PAK on my non-MTS node allow this??

2564.8Need it on the "other" systemCHRLIE::HUSTONWed May 12 1993 15:2711
    
    The DSO allows a FCS to accept connections from other FCS servers.
    
    You do not need the DSO on the node you are logged into. If you want
    to store anything or retrieve anything on a different cluster, then
    the FCS on that other cluster will need the DSO.
    
    In your case you need it on the non-MTS system.
