Brief Description of Problem:
-----------------------------
To whom it may concern,
I am attempting to build a "setld distribution kit" and am having a
question as to how to set a particular file characteristic:
When the "kits" command is run, it generates the inventory file
based on the current file atrtibutes. Specifically "user id"
is specified numerically.
Problem: I want to specify a "text user ID" since the user ID
that the files should belong to may not have the same numeric user
ID as the system generating the kit. Ex: I want the file to
belong to "joe". My UID for joe may be 300, but on the customer's
system it may be 400.
Question: Must I always edit the ".inv" inventory files manually
after execution of the "kits" command? Or is there some other
proper method to specify the user name?
Thanks in advance!!
Doyle

From what I can see, there isn't a way to do what you want other than, as you mention, editing the ".inv" file yourself. But I have forwarded your question to the engineering group in case someone there can come up with a clever suggestion. I will let you know what they say Regards Nick Hudson Digital Software Partner Engineering | |||||

They also discourage editing the ".inv" file to change the file ownership; they suggest that a better approach would be to install the files concerned with one UID and change the file ownership subsequently, using a subset control program (see chapter 3 of the "Guide to Preparing Product Kits") Regards Nick Hudson Digital Software Partner Engineering | |||||
