Hello,
Customer has migrated the sysuaf.dat from VAX/VMS V5.5-2 machine
to AXP/VMS V6.2 system. But when she using e.g.
UAF> modify * /fillm=....
she found that UAF just help her to change the first record but
not all. She would like to know does the Alpha VMS not supported
the wild card feature or due to the mistake when she copied the
SYSUAF from VAX to Alpha? Because she said she can do it during
she is still using VAX/VMS V5.5-2.
One more question: During she shows the proxy record in the
AXP/VMS system (the SYSUAF.dat is copied from VAX and the PROXY.dat
is locally created in Alpha machine); she found the record shown
up is not in sequence such as node name; then I simulate the problem
in my Alpha machine and its normal:
Please see my machine:
UAF> show /proxy *

Is it also due to the incorrected method of SYSUAF copying?
Best regards,

Wildcard modifications are supported by the OpenVMS Alpha AUTHORIZE
utility.
I can't explain why she is seeing these errors.
I'd take a look at the contents of SYSUAF with CONVERT and DUMP, and
see if it contains what she thinks it does. And I'd take a look at
the definitions of the SYSUAF, NETPROXY, NET$PROXY, and RIGHTSLIST
logical names -- assuming the files are not located in the default
SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE] location. And I'd see if she has rebooted the
host since copying over the SYSUAF, to get all the applications
looking at the same file. I'd also ask why she did not simply
configure a VMScluster containing these systems, and use a common
SYSUAF, NETPROXY, NET$PROXY, and RIGHTSLIST database while migrating
the applications.
As for the proxy question, I'm not sure what the customer is
asking here. (I can only guess that this is an artifact of the
copy operation.) There are a few proxy-related patches for some
OpenVMS versions, you will want to visit the patch area and acquire
copies of these patches. (Look for audit server and security
server patches, as well as for "proxy" patches.)
I will assume that DECnet-Plus (DECnet OSI) is not in use.

It's "OpenVMS VAX" and "OpenVMS Alpha", not "VAX/VMS" and "AXP/VMS".

That seems odd. I was not able to reproduce any unexpected behaviour
with limited testing. It worked for me.
Can you get a log showing this?
Does SHOW/BRIEF * show all the records?
Just using COPY (or BACKUP) is not always an ideal means of moving
write accessed indexed files around. CONV/SHARE is somewhat less risky.
You would want to do some basic ANAL/RMS to make sure that the
resulting file is good.
And in the specific case of SYSUAF and RIGHTSLIST you should probably
reboot after COPYing in a new file (unless you like excitement).
Did the customer do anything with RIGHTSLIST?

Please exhibit output.
Are _both_ proxy files present and accounted for? Are they in synch?
re .1
Gee, when I started it was spelled "VAX/VMS". I prefer "Alpha/VMS" to
"AXP/VMS" though.
