Ed,

Some time ago I tried to Copy and Paste a group of Universe accounts
(folders) from one location to another on the same  NT machine and it
failed.

I was informed that the Windows Copy command is not a reliable command for
moving Universe accounts, but that the DOS xcopy command is reliable.


Windows copy is VERY unreliable, it's a pain in the neck!

DOS xcopy is great, provided you understand the switches - I use stuff 
like "/s/e/v/d/c/h" (subdirectories, empty, verify, date, continue, 
hidden).


The other command to know is robocopy (part of the NT resource kit). 
"robo" is short for "robust", and it's certainly that. I haven't used it 
much, but we use it for backups and it's very reliable.


So, we now use xcopy in a .bat file to do exactly what you want to do, and
we use it both within one machine and between two machines, but ---

We launch it using the Windows Task Scheduler, not from a phantom process
running in Universe.

hth,

Dave

I don't know if the DOS copy command is the same as the Windows Copy
command, as in Copy and Paste, or Drag and Drop, but if you're having any
trouble with the results of your DOS copy command, I would go back to using
xcopy in a .bat file and running it from the Task Scheduler.

Problem solved.  I changed "xcopy" to "copy" and it worked perfectly.  Who
knew?

Can you provide the full code for the .bat file and for the Pick BASIC 
program as well?  Thanks.

Have you tried this:
NET USE \\server\share /user:xxx password
from the phantom before your copy?

my guess is that this is an authentication problem.
when logged in as yourself you have access to the remote server.
but the phantom, logged in as , does not.

I have a DOS .bat command that does 2 things.  It moves a file from one
directory on the NT server (on which Universe resides) to another (archive)
directory on the same server.  It also copies that file from the NT server
to
another server on the network.  I have a PICK BASIC program that invokes
that
.bat file using EXECUTE " DOS /c runit.bat".  This PICK BASIC program works
perfectly when run from a live session, but not from a phantom.  When
invoked
from the phantom, the "same server move" works fine, but the "copy to
another
server" does nothing.  Clearly, the .bat file is always being invoked, but
it's almost like the other server isn't recognized from the phantom session.
Anyone else experience anything like this?  What gives?  Any insight greatly
appreciated.

RE: [U2] Problem with phantom on Universe/NT {Unclassified}

[HENDERSON MIKE, MR]

Ed,

As what user does the phantom job run?
I'd look at that in conjunction with permissions on the share on the
remote server.

If you're running 10.0.x or 10.1, you can specify a userID/password on
the PHANTOM line.
IIRC, this is documented in the 10.0.x release notes, but nowhere else.
Sigh.
