2725.0. "Unable to add subscriber in DDS (from ALL-IN-1)" by OSLACT::BJARNEC_P (The last boat left without me .....) Tue May 18 1993 18:11

Hi,

I wonder if anyone can give me a clue or two of what to look for.

On a customer site they are running ALL-IN-1 IOS and they are about
to embark on a Teamlinks Pilot, all of which is supposed to tie
in with the rest of the organisation's Mailbus (DDS) framework.

The idea was to update DDS by doing the following:

1) Add user to ALL-IN-1 (or take an existing one).
2) Set MDFLAG to "OA$Y":-
   --> <WRITE CHANGE PROFIL USER="user", MDFLAG="OA$Y"
3) Get user to be added to DDS:-
   --> <GET #DDS_ACCOUNT="user"
4) Run Add subscriber script:-
   --> <DO SUBSCRIBER_ADD_INTERACTIVE.SCP

However, when these points are followed, nothing happens.  No entry
is added in DDS!  There is a trace (from ALL-IN-1) but I have not 
fetched it from the customer site yet.  Meanwhile, hopefully someone
could point me in the right direction of where to start.   MR/DDS etc
are started and OA$DDS_PRIME is set to 1.  No Error message is ever
given!

VMS 5.5-2
ALL-IN-1 V3.0, Norwegian
MR V 3.2 (I think), Local installation
Teamlinks V 1.1 English

I will add the A1TRACE as soon as I get hold of it.  This note is cross
posted in the FORTY2::MAILBUS notes conference.


Thanks,

    Bjarne,
    
    Call SUBSCRIBER_ADD not SUBSCRIBER_ADD_INTERACTIVE
    
    The comments in both scripts indicate why...

And if you have only just changed OA$DDS_PRIME to 1, and it used to be 0, 
you'll have to relink ALL-IN-1.

    Hi,
    
    Thanks for the response.
    
    I think there was a bit of finger trouble involved (ALL-IN-1 was
    linked with DDS OK, and I had tried both the SUBSCRIBER_ADD and the
    SUBSCRIBER_ADD_INTERACTIVE Scripts).  The problem was that I used 
    double quotes round OA$Y (= "OA$Y") in the command: 
    
    <WRITE CHANGE PROFIL USER="user", MDFLAG=OA$Y  (this one works)
    
    Also,  I was made aware that Creating the ALL-IN-1 account with
    the Mail Directory set to "Y", which means DDS is automatically 
    updated with the new user, and then deleting the DDS entry from MBMAN
    and THEN trying to recreate the DDS entry from ALL-IN-1 will not
    work due to the fact that DDSID still exsists for the user and
    can therefore not be added twice.
    
    Please correct me should this be severely incorrect!
    
    
    Cheers,
