3490.0. "print of doc in shared drawer - Protection Violation" by LOOKIN::BARHAM (Norbert:) Wed Nov 03 1993 18:47

    ALL-IN-1 3.0-1
    
    Sorry, couldn't find this in here...
    
    When a non-priveleged user tries to print a document in a shared drawer
    to which he has just Read access and then presses Next Screen to try
    and change the pagination settings, it immediately says
    
    Protection Violation
    
    I have reproduced this here. I see in the 3.0 release notes it says
    something that might be relevant :-
    
            2.14 Shared Filing
    
                  o  Some operations are only successful in drawers that you
                     own. These operations are:     (amongst others)
    
                     o  Format Document
    
    Is this the same problem ? I don't see it in the 3.0-1 release notes.
    Is it trying to write the temporary .lis file to the drawer owner's
    directory (to which he does not have access) ? I was a little confused
    by the trace !
    
    Thanks,

3490.1Not that I do WPS-PLUS but...AIMTEC::WICKS_AU.S.A 2 England 0 - I was there!Wed Nov 03 1993 18:528
    Clive,
    
    Is DSO involved? I ask because if you look at the DSO cover letter
    in section 5 the exact thing you describe is release noted there.

3490.2Probably fixedIOSG::NEWLANDRichard Newland, IOSG, REO2-G/L2Wed Nov 03 1993 19:3640
Re: .0

Your reported problem looks the same as the following for which the 
required changes have been made for a PFR.


Problem(s) fixed or functionality added:

If a remote user has READ or CREATE privilege to a drawer and attempts to 
print a private document, AND change the WPS-PLUS format settings the
following error is returned:

    "Protection Violation"

However, with all other sharing privileges there is no problem and this 
will not happen if the WPS-PLUS format settings are not altered.  The FMD
option will fail under similar conditions.



Change(s) (include module/routine names where relevant)

The problem occurs because the WPS-PLUS formatter requires write access to
the .WPL file to change the format settings.

When printing documents which the user does not have write access to, such
as files in the shared directories, ALL-IN-1 makes a temporary copy of the
.WPL file which allows the format settings to be changed for the current
print operation. 

The tests in the WPSPLUS_FORMAT script when formatting a document have been
changed to: 

    if file is in a shared directory (OA$SHAR*)
	then make temporary copy of file;

	if no write access to file
	    then make temporary copy of file
	    else format file directly.
3490.3ALL-IN-1 V3.0A same problem?SWTHOM::GODARDFri Jul 29 1994 11:2915
    Hi,
    
    A customer encountered the same problem as .0
    
    I tested with a ALL-IN-1 V3.0A + A1_FIX012030 + A1_FIX015030 and I have
    always the problem .
    
    Can you say me if really this problem as a correction or I must write a
    SPR.
    
    If a fix exist, thanks to say me where I can found it.
    
    Thanks for your help
