Looking at this, a couple of ideas ... Is UV supported on SuSE? Last I knew (probably out of date :-) it was only supported on RHEL.
Catdir looks to be a type 1 file - can you change it to a type 19? What are/were the permissions on the *client*SCRNHD directory? Do you only get this problem where the catalog name (ie *client*SCRNHDG) is over 14 characters? Next time you want to take a backup (especially if you're going to recatalog it :-) what happens if you do a mv rather than a cp? If that fails, it means the problem probably lies with the directory, not the file.

Here's the synopsis. I have a customer running UV 10.2 (not 10.1 as previously mentioned) on a SuSE Linux box. Everything will be humming along swimmingly and then something weird happens with a catalog pointer (for reasons unknown) and everyone who is running a program that calls that subroutine finds themself greeted by an error and then drops to a colon prompt. In diagnosing this today I went to the offending file in /usr/ibm/uv/catdir and the file was in fact there, 666 perrmissions, so I figured I'd copy it off before correction so that I could compare the old and new versions to possibly spot some differences. Well get this: Despite being root (via "su") I could not copy that file because the system said I didn't have read permissions. The following is the transcript of the highlights of that session: Last login: Wed Nov 12 09:04:59 2008 from 68.246.114.44 UniVerse Command Language 10.2 (c) Copyright IBM Corporation 2006.

But how is it that the item was not readable despite the rw- privs and me being authenticated as root? Has anyone seen this and have any clues as to what might be causing this? It keeps happening on this system and the customer is most frustrated (as am I!). -Kevin http://www.PrecisOnline.com ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
