984.0. "An invalid device was specified when RNA option used" by GIDDAY::SETHI (Man from Downunder) Fri Jul 03 1992 06:45

    G'day,
    
    The largest site in the Southern Hemisphere for ALL-IN-1 have come
    across a feature that is going to cause them a problem.  When they 
    upgrade they will not be able to use rooted logical see Stars Article
    "RNA Fails In V3.0 When Rooted Logical In User Profile".
    
    On one site they have 5,000 users and thousands more on other sites
    that they want to upgrade.  The suggestions made in the Stars article
    are fine if you have a few users.  They want to know why the change was
    made and do we have a script or command that is capable of making the
    changes suggested ?
    
    Unfortunately we have an unhappy customer and I am wondering if you
    have any suggestions to help them out.  I can understand to some extent
    why the change was made especially when deleting an account the Delete
    from field is useful.  I have tried to sell the virtues of the changes
    but it cut no ice.
    

    Thanks for your help
    
    Sunil

	Hi Sunil, I don't know if this will help, and it is definitely crude, but the following script and command file will change a specified group of users. Let's say the logical MYGROUP translates to "disk1:[mygroup.". The script asks for the group directory to be changed and you would answer "MYGROUP:". The script then asks what it should be changed to and you would answer "DISK1:[MYGROUP.". You can add troubleshooting and change it to whatever suits your needs. HTH. Cindy ! MODIFY_DIRECTORY.SCP ! changes from rooted logical PROMPT "WHAT IS THE GROUP DIRECTORY TO BE CHANGED? " GET #OLD_DIR=OA$PROMPT_TEXT PROMPT "CHANGE IT TO? (EXAMPLE, DISK:[DEPART.)

	G'day Cindy, Thanks for your suggestion I have been thinking about a script to make the changes. All of this could be done from within the script and there is not need to r authorize. The new DSAB UAI$ can be used to update the users SYSUAF record. I have suggested this to the customer. The topdown design would be as follows :-) 1. Read profile and get details of the users directory specification 2. Translate the rooted logical for the user group directory ie user_g_dir 3. change the directory spec to disk:[groupg.user.a1] in profile 4. change the directory spec in sysuaf making use of the dsab ie uai$defdev[oa$profil_vmsusr] and uai$defdir[oa$profil_vmsusr] Just an idea, the customer will investigate it Sunil

	Hey Sunil, Thanks for the reminder about the UAI$ DSAB. (I'll never remember all these new features!) I rewrote mine using that to give myself practice. Good luck with the customer. Cindy
