Re: [U2] Problem with phantom on Universe/NT
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. 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. 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. hth, Dave Dave Taylor President Sysmark Information Systems, Inc. 49 Aspen Way Rolling Hills Estates, CA 90274 800-SYSMARK (800-797-6275) (O) 310-544-1974 (P) 800-339-1497 (F) 310-377-3550 Your Source for Integrated EDI Translation and DataSync Integration www.sysmarkinfo.com - Original Message - From: Ed Weissman [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Sent: Friday, July 15, 2005 6:28 AM Subject: Re: [U2] Problem with phantom on Universe/NT Problem solved.

Have you tried this: NET USE \\server\share /user:xxx password from the phantom before your copy? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of gerry-u2ug Sent: Wednesday, July 06, 2005 6:38 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: RE: [U2] Problem with phantom on Universe/NT 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.

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