- Subject: Dirmaint 1.4 woes, second chapter
- Lines: 52
-
- First off, many thanks to everyone who responded to my first posting,
- regarding which version of Dirmaint was best to install. Given the
- abundant & eloquent praise, I opted for 1.4.
-
- Now, the installation and customization went fine & dandy, but the thing
- is now refusing to do the real work. Having followed the instructions,
- I set it up with a dummy directory, on some other volume apart from where
- the real thing is located, occupying the same space as the real one. I
- then formatted and allocated as DRCT that area. Firing up Dirmaint,
- it went thru its paces of setting things up and went into "Waiting..." mode.
-
- All commands which do not entail changes in the directory work just fine.
- However, when I try to ADD or do anything which updates the directory, the
- command bombs with an error from DIRECT. The following diagnostic gets
- sent:
-
- DIRECTORY 1CA FB-512 SQLPK EDIT 01271620
- VOLID READ IS NOT SQLPK (ON 01CA)
- LOAD COMPLETED, CLUSTER READS = 0, USERS VIA CLUSTER = 0, INDIVIDUAL USERS = 2,
- TOTAL RECORDS = 29
- EOJ DIRECTORY NOT UPDATED
-
- The directory entry for Dirmaint is, as prescribed on the manual:
-
- USER DIRMAINT xxxxxxxx 4M 6M BG
- ACCOUNT 01 SYSADMIN
- OPTION REALTIMER ECMODE
- IPL CMS
- CONSOLE, SPOOLs and LINKs to system disks deleted...

-
- As instructed, the 1CA minidisk is the same size as the DRCT space on the
- BC4 full-pack volume, where the working object directory is installed.
-
- Where am I goofing up ? I've installed the thing on a 9377 and a 9373 and
- get the exact same error on both, so I suspect this is an error on my part.
- According to the documentation I received, it includes the DASD management
- enhancement APARS, which include support for 9335 and 9332 DASDs.
-
- Thanks for any pointers.
-
- Juan
-
- P.S. The installation on the 9373 is OPERATIONAL, so the error wasn't due
- to a TESTING status.
