Hello, A customer wants to install ALL-IN-1 V3.0 as coexistent system in a rooted directory. He wants the directory to look like: $1$DUS15:[PRODUCTS.] [ALLIN1] He says that in ALL-IN-1 V2.4 it was not possible using rooted directory due to fact how system services were used. Did this change for Version 3.0? He will using VMS 5.5-2. If it is possible to install V3.0 in a rooted directory BUT NOT RECOMMENDED - I would be most grateful if you could give me some statements why not. This customer has a very good VMS and also ALL-IN-1 knowhow so he cannot be easiley convinced something NOT TO DO. Any help is most welcome! Best regards, Manuela

| 1773.1 | Not supported because it doesn't work | IOSG::TALLETT | Gimmee an Alpha colour notebook... | Mon Nov 16 1992 20:19 | 25 |
It is not supported to install ALL-IN-1 in a rooted directory
because it is known that some things do not work. I know for a
fact that Transfer User doesn't work if your ALL-IN-1 system
is installed on a rooted logical because it uses rooted logicals
itself, and as I'm sure you know, you can't have rooted rooted's.
ALL-IN-1 would try to create the logical
$1$DUS15:[PRODUCTS.][ALLIN1.TRANSFER_OUTGOING.]
which wouldn't work.
Other subsystems (not just transfer user) also do not work.
On the other hand, most of ALL-IN-1 does work, so if you are
prepared to put up with redefining logicals when things break
(although diagnosis will probably take a while) then you could
probably try it. We had a system running like that for quite
a while before anyone noticed.
But its not supported, not recommended, and definitely doesn't
work all the time.
Regards,
Paul
