| Title: | *OLD* ALL-IN-1 (tm) Support Conference |
| Notice: | Closed - See Note 4331.l to move to IOSG::ALL-IN-1 |

In ALL-IN-1 V2.4 GPC, with a conference selected by the moderator, the
moderator can read notes with no problem. When they attempt to delete
one of their own notes, they get the following message:
"You are not the author of this note."
However, their username shows up correctly in the Author: field of the
selected conference. (OA2::USERNAME)
This problem only appears to exist when DIRECT access is being used.
An A1trace.log file revealed that GPC appeared to be looking at the
value of SYS$CLUSTER_NODE when the Delete command was invoked. It
appeared that the value of SYS$NODE was noted when the topic was
created.
Is there a workaround for this problem, like some scp file that can be
modified, or will they be forced to change to SERVER access or
upgrading ALL-IN-1 to V3.0?
Here is text from the tracelog that clued us to the problem:
! GET Symbol: #USER
! Value: OASIS::USERNAME
! GET Symbol: OA$NOTES_NOTE_AUTHOR
! Value: OA2::USERNAME
! [SCP/TRACE] GET OA$DISPLAY=OA$_NOTES_BAD_AUTHOR/GET OA$STATUS=0 <<
Form= OAN$MENU1
(Note: USERNAME was the same in both cases)
The logical values were
"SYS$NODE" = "OA2::" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)
"SYS$CLUSTER_NODE" = "OASIS::" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)
Your input on this issue will be greatly appreciated.

Susan and Dave,
Read note 1260, specifically, 1260.2 in this conference and test on
V3.0. Then, have the customer upgrade if it looks good.

| 2706.3 | Okay now. Thanks... | OASS::ADAMS_S | Wed May 12 1993 22:25 | 15 | |
We tested under V3.0 and knew the problem did not exist there. The
customer just wanted to know if there was a work-around for the
interim, until they upgrade ALL-IN-1. Changing all conference
references from Direct to Server access could be touchy.
It looks like ugrading is the better alternative, or living with the
notes they want to delete until that time. They can also change the
node reference temporarily, when the error occurs, by using the command
< GET #USER OA2::USERNAME
Thanks, Tim!

| 2706.4 | Always best to use Server Acess | IOSG::PYE | Graham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's Apprentice | Fri May 14 1993 16:28 | 16 |
Somewhat off ther remit of this conference, but, it's generally a good
thing to have all access to conferences, even local ones, be via the
server (i.e. Even *I* have this conference as IOSG::ALL-IN-1), since
this makes it much easier to set up the file protections of the
conference so that only the server can read/write to it, thus
preventing anyone accidentally (or maliciously) doing direct RMS access
to the conference file. Also, it's convenient when you go on a trip to
be able to use a copy of your notebook on another node (or even define
it remotely) and have all the conferences still accessable.
Perhaps these arguments would help you convince the customer that a
move to server access would be desirable. And surely you could write
some GPC APR stuff to go through everyone's notebooks and update the
access? :-)
