HP OpenVMS Systems

Redirecting AUTHORIZE? (SYSUAF, RIGHTSLIST, etc)

» close window

The Question is:

 
logged in as the SYSTEM account I am trying:
$set def sys$system
$run authorize
but getting the error message -
%RMS-F-DEV, error in device name or inappropriate device type for operation
 
I have tried:
$define/proc/exec sysuaf <another uaf file>
$run authorize
 
but with the same result.
 
what am I doing wrong?.
 
 

The Answer is :

 
  Please issue the DCL command:
 
    DIRECTORY/FULL SYSUAF
    DIRECTORY/FULL RIGHTSLIST
    DIRECTORY/FULL NET$PROXY
    DIRECTORY/FULL NETPROXY
 
  to determine if the logical name is correctly defined.
 
  The OpenVMS Wizard would expect that one or more of the logical
  names SYSUAF, RIGHTSLIST, NETPROXY and/or NET$PROXY is incorrect;
  that the translation does not point to a valid file.
 
  Topics related to the management of SYSUAF and the various other
  files shared in a cluster are discussed in topics including (9573),
  and other topics referenced there.  For a list of the files that
  are typically shared within a cluster (or that are used to redirect
  a core file to another device or directory on a standalone node),
  please see SYLOGICALS.TEMPLATE on V7.2 and later releases.
