Brent, 1) You got that message because DIRECTXA was run from the saved segment on your 5.2 system not from the mdisk. 2) I do not see where you linked to the 5.3 system 123 disk to write the directory into the DRCT area. 3) If you did not then you just wrote your 5.3 directory over your 5.2 directory and I hope you did not log off of MAINT

Sometime ago I installed the VM:Suite from CA, which included VM:Director which maintains user direct, on my z/VM 5.2 system. I later installed z/VM 5.3 but didn?t get back to addressing the VM:Suite until recently. I inadvertently ran VM:Director on the 5.3 system before modifying its config files resulting in user direct being rewritten with all the USER entry MDISK statements pointing to the 5.2 volsers. As a result I can?t log on to my 5.3 system. To try and rewrite my 5.3 user direct I brought up my 5.2 system and attached the 5.3 versions of 2CC as 12CC which contains the 5.3 user direct, and 19E as 119E which contains the DIRECTXA utility. I placed 12CC and 119E before 2CC and 19E in the access list and ran DIRECTXA (EDIT pointing to the USER DIRECT on 12CC. The message I got was z/VM USER DIRECTORY CREATION PROGRAM ? VERSION 5 RELEASE 2.0 My question is twofold; 1. Why is the 5.2 version of DIRECTXA being invoked if the 5.3 version is first in the access list, and 2. Is there an easier way to rewrite my 5.3 user direct Thanks, Brent Brent Litster Zions Management Services Company 2185 South 3270 West West Valley City 84119 (801) 844-5545 blits...@zionsbank.com *************************** IMPORTANT NOTE***************************** The opinions expressed in this message and/or any attachments are those of the author and not necessarily those of Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., its subsidiaries and affiliates ("BBH").
