We run a main phantom that spawns off (EXECUTEs) other phantoms based on items
in a "service" configuration file. This program
wakes up every minute, scans the service file for anything that needs to be run
this minute, EXECUTEs a phantom to run the
configured command, then goes back to sleep for another minute; and so forth
and so on. I log into UD as an administrator and
phantom off this main program, manually, each time UD starts.
It's been working in our test environment for about three months now. Two
weeks ago I noticed the phantom looked like:
< 1 > Top of "wphaskett78241_3872" in "_PH_", 6 lines, 165 characters.
*--: P
001: System error 85 has occurred.
002:
003: The local device name is already in use.
004:
005: ...DTA.SERVICE is now starting at 21:44:01 Jul 05 2007...
006: ...now opening DTA system files...
Bottom.
A look at Google tells me this is some kind of drive mapping problem associated
with a possible conflict with non-administrator
users and the "net use" command. It so happens that I've mapped an ftp
server's drive onto the UD server (Windows) as the "N:\"
drive. To get UniData to use this "shared" directory, on the other server, I
have to insert
!net use N: \\sftpserver\ftpdir {password} /user:{sftpserver\userid}
...into the LOGIN paragraph (it appears this has to be run at each invocation
of a UD shell, aka UD login). I then create a (VOC)
entry:
Top of "FTPFILE" in "VOC", 3 lines, 26 characters.
*--: P
001: DIR
002: N:\{Name}
003: D_VOC
Bottom.
...so UD programs can access the files that are SFTP'd into our network. In
addition, a phantom executed from the main phantom runs
properly. Is this one of those phantoms from phantoms problems?
Any help would be appreciated.
