The Question is: Have setup an NFS device where the UNIX node is serving the device to the VMS node I can create files on that device but when we run a powerhouse program which creates the file using powerhouse it comes up with the following message: Executing request TIMESHEET_EQUAL_ROU ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Data access error. (VP_OR_HEADER) [1] File: VP_OR_HEADER_GST Action Taken: Run terminated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- %RMS-F-WER, file write error File: VP_OR_HEADER ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- %SYSTEM-E-UNSUPPORTED, unsupported operation or function File: VP_OR_HEADER The Answer is : So the Powerhouse application is running on OpenVMS, but is reporting errors and is not functioning as expected when the target disk is remote-mounted via NFS? The most obvious immediate solution: don't do that. Since that answer is unlikely acceptable, you will need to contact the support organizations for Powerhouse and for HP TCP/IP Services -- expect to be asked to upgrade, as the TCP/IP release that is current as of this writing is V5.3, the V5.0A release is somewhat dated -- and approach this through formal support channels. (The resolution of this could potentially require a non-trivial research effort.) If you wish to see what RMS operation is failing, you might well be able to spot it using the (undocumented; CMEXEC or CMKRNL required) commands SET WATCH/CLASS=ALL FILE and /CLASS=NONE. These commands can be invoked on OpenVMS, and might be able to show what operation(s) are failing. There are applications which are incompatible with NFS-served disks. This may well be one. (The organization supporting Powerhouse may be familiar with the file write error seen here with this NFS volume, or this may be a new or previously unseen problem. Further, the organization supporting Powerhouse will know if the package is expected to operate on an NFS volume.)
