4175.0. "Transfer user on v3.0" by WAYOUT::TALBOT (Trevor Talbot) Wed May 18 1994 10:30

Hi,

	Can anyone help with this?

A customer has 1 account on v3.0 that the PAT CTN 
operation failed on, it got through the MAIN drawer 
and started the OWN drawer and then failed with the 
following:-

'failed to prepare filecabinet'

He has defined the oa$transfer_space logical to 40,000
He tried again after raising UAF quotas etc. but it 
failed again this time we got more errors.. 
%rms-e-cre, and oa-w-iocopy, and %oa-w-arcfailopen

We then moved the OA$TRANSFER area to a new disk, 
changed the UAF details for xfer in/out etc and 
defined OA$TRANSFER and OA$LOADUSER to new location.
The new disk has 350,000 blks free.
I got him to run a script that used file$ to calculate
size of account and added in VMS files and the total
for the failing account was 35,000 blks.

Can anyone suggest what I should be looking at next?

Thanks in advance,

-Trev

I forgot to say that this account had moved from 
machine A to machine B and the failing attempt is from
machine B to machine C. I can't see why this would cause
any probs but you never know:-)

also he has managed to get a small test account to
transfer.

    Trevor.
    very quickly because we're ~very~ busy !!
    ... is this a transfer from V2.4? I'm puzzled because of the options
    you mention (PAT CTN). From memory isn't this Prepare Account for
    Transfer/Cancel Transfer). Sorry if I'm being dumb, but I can't find
    these now on our V3.0 system. Are there some old forms lying around on
    his/her system?
    Cheers

     Hi Trevor.
        Can you ask him to do a couple of things:
        a) check the log of the PTN - OA$TRANSFER_{user}.LOG for clues
        b) supply the exact text of the message; is it:
          "Failed to backup ALL-IN-1 files" (SA$_BCH_FAILED_BCK_A1DIR)          
           - then we can see where in the code it is coming from.
        c) set verify on in SM_PAT.COM to find the error more exactly.
     Cheers
