72.0. "problems in file transfer" by CINEMX::YOUNG (JUNE YOUNG DTN 237-3085) Wed Oct 26 1988 11:09

    

    I tried to send a file report, RA90.SEP., from ORCHRD::young to
    my SHR node, MPGS::YOUNGJ (also tried sending to specific SHR node
    on MPGS cluster (PISCES::YOUNGJ), and got error message saying:
    
        Error opening MPGS::[YOUNGJ] ... file not found.
    
    Do I have to create a file in SHR *BEFORE* file transfer from ORCHRD?
    
    
    PS:  Notes writing is AWFULLY slow ... is this a permanent slowness?

	 June,

	    I think you may have missed the rest of the error message.
	  If you try the process again, I think you will find
	 'directory not found' before the 'file not found' message.
	 The construct you are using (NODE::[DIRECTORY]) requires a
	 proxy account on your end - is one set up on node MPGS for
	 you?  If so, is the directory [YOUNGJ] a valid top level
	 directory accessible to your home account on MPGS?   If you
	 are still having problems with this, please call me or send
	 me mail.


>    Do I have to create a file in SHR *BEFORE* file transfer from ORCHRD?

	 The answer to this one is NO.  The proxy and/or decnet access
	 route has to be worked out.

	 There is a discussion (sort of) going on on this subject in
	 NOTE 59.n

72.2more questions .....SHOTIM::YOUNGJUNE YOUNG DTN 237-3085Tue Nov 01 1988 14:046
    KEN - I HAVE SET UP A PROXY WITH MY "HOME" NODE IN SHR (MPGS),
    AND YOUNGJ IS MY MAIN (TOP-LEVEL) ACCOUNT ON THE SHR CLUSTER. 
    It "looks for" transmissions from the cluster alias ORCHRD.
    
    Do you have the ORCHRD alias enabled for outgoing, or do we have
    to set up 3 separate proxies for SHOTIM, CINEMX, and CSPAN ???
72.3not much of an answerSHOTIM::KIPNESKen 269-2269Wed Nov 09 1988 00:3017

	 June,

	    The goal is to get to a cluster known to the outside world
	 as ORCHRD, without the baggage of having to know the nodes
	 involved.  However, we are going through MANY changes at the
	 moment and our system managers are experimenting with various
	 things.

	    What the above gobbledy-gook means is that the answer to
	 your question is NO and YES - for the moment.  Please bear
	 with us, your proxy at this time should be for CINEMX,
	 SHOTIM, CSPAN and ORCHRD.  However, we will eventually be
	 telling everyone to only use ORCHRD.
