This may or may not help. I have seen this type of error at our site. But most sites may not be setup like we are.
We have a separate file system setup for our _PH_, _HOLD_ and SAVEDLISTS. The theory being that if we have a runaway report or some other event fills up this file system, we won't corrupt our Unidata files. The setup of an account in this structure requires us to remove the _HOLD_, SAVEDLISTS and _HOLD_ after running newaccount. The VOC pointers are set to point to the separate file system for these files. And everything works fine while you are within Unidata in a normal terminal session. The place where we encounter errors is if we forget to symbolically link these files at a UNIX level. So from UNIX, we need to be able to 'cd' to _HOLD_, SAVEDLISTS and _PH_ if everything is setup right. Once this step is done, our problems disappear. Just thought I would throw this out in case your account setup is some what non standard. - Rod -----Original Message----- From: Dan Eichholz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 12, 2004 4:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [U2] capturing problem I can't help solve your problem, but I get a very similar error on Unidata 5.2 and 6.0 on solaris 8. Maybe some additional observations will help someone out there figure out both problems if they are indeed the same. For us, the error occurs during a sequence of unidata calls from the command line (cron) and phantom is not involved. Our cron script runs about 30 unidata calls sequentially on a variety of accounts. Usually they last for less than a second. This whole sequence repeats every 10 minutes. We get 0 to 3 of these per day with no consistent time or correlation to server load. It is highly unlikely that our problem is permissions (for us) as there is only 1 user id that initiates calls to unidata on the production accounts. Unix command: echo "$*" | udt | tail +8 | /usr/xpg4/bin/grep -vx ":" Ouput: cat: cannot open _PH_/webster40980_14962 We were unable to get answers from IBM since we couldn't reliably reproduce it. If you find out what it is, I'd certainly appreciate it if you could pass the info on.
