Re: CPY command works on one system, but not another...

Tom,
CRPense gave me the following tip when I was trying to find error. The key
part was to review the QAUDJRN for Authority Failures ( T-AF codes ) in the
journal. If yo are not currently using the audit journal you can set it up
pretty easy.

CRTJRNRCV JRNRCV(YOURLIB/QAUDR0001)
CRTJRN JRN(QSYS/QAUDJRN) JRNRCV(YOURLIB/QAUDR0001)
WRKSYSVAL QAUD* and change
QAUDCTl to *AUDLVL
QAUDLVL to include at least *AUTFAIL

Now try you cmd and then use the DSPJRN cmd to serach fot the T codes with
AF





When server jobs fail to properly start, and a joblog does not
conspicuously reveal the cause, I almost always look for T-AF entries in
the auditing as a likely origin... which I have many times found to be
the cause, and thus /correcting/ the authority for the object(s) to
which the user is not authorized would resolve the problem.

I have a client with two v6r1 System i boxes. On each system, the client
is running software which has created IFS objects in folder /images.

On each, I'm running this command:

CPY OBJ('/IMAGES/010108/0001/AAAAGBOU.*') TODIR('/home/idocket')

On System1, it works without problem. On System2, I get the following
error:

CPFA0A2 - Information passed to this operation was not valid.


Digging into a bit and using DSPAUT on each system, I see the following:

Display Authority (System1)

Object . . . . . . . . . . . . : /images
Type . . . . . . . . . . . . . : DIR
Owner . . . . . . . . . . . . : QSECOFR
Primary group . . . . . . . . : *NOUSRPRF
Authorization list . . . . . . : *NONE

Data --Object Authorities--
User Authority Exist Mgt Alter Ref
QSECOFR *RWX X X X X
*NOUSRPRF *RWX X X X X
*PUBLIC *RWX X X X X



Display Authority (System2)

Object . . . . . . . . . . . . : /images
Type . . . . . . . . . . . . . : DIR
Owner . . . . . . . . . . . . : *NOUSRPRF
Primary group . . . . . . . . : *NOUSRPRF

Data --Object Authorities--
User Authority Exist Mgt Alter Ref
*NOUSRPRF *RWX X X X X
*NOUSRPRF *RWX X X X X
*PUBLIC *RWX X X X X


The only difference that I see (so far) is that the Owner for the
'/images' directory is QSECOFR on System1, but on System2 it is shown as
*NOUSRPRF.

I've contacted tech support at the software vendor about it, asking if
that might be the problem. Their response: "Don't know. Good luck."

So... could the owner being set at *NOUSRPRF be what is preventing me from
performing the "CPY" command? If so, how do I get around it, other than
changing object owner?
