3781.0. "PTN fails on Hidden Drawer" by GVPROD::SYSADM () Wed Jan 19 1994 17:49

    Hi,	
    Attempting to xfr an account (ALL-IN-1 V3.0a), PTN fails with "Failed to 
    backup hidden drawer" (see log below). The account has no other drawer
    than MAIN.
    
    What is a "hidden drawer" ?
    Seen that problem already ??
    Thanks.

3781.2"hidden drawer" error in PTN can be misleadingGVPROD::SYSADMThu Jan 20 1994 13:4327
    Thanks.
    
        FYI: the error "Failed to backup hidden drawer..." will also occur if
             there is a mismatch regarding the disk-name between the
                "Directory:" (.DIRECT)    and
                "...delete from directory:" (.DELETE_FROM)
             fields of the user profile. And this even if one of the disk-names
             is a system logical-name pointing to the other !
    
             Example:  we had the problem with :
    
             . Directory: A1$USER_4:[KRUMMENACKER.ALLIN1]
             . When deleting the VMS account, delete from directory:
                          USER4:[KRUMMENACKER]
             and
    
             . A1$USER_4 = "$1$DUA32:"
             . USER4 = "$1$DUA32:"
    
             It worked well after we matched the disk-name in .DELETE_FROM
             with that in .DIRECT
    
    In this case, the "hidden drawer..." error message is really misleading !
