Re: Deleting entry from the distribution Directory

Hello Chuck,

Thanks a lot - it worked. There were some issues regarding changing the 
ownership of some documents, but I could manage that.
Everything works as before.

Re: Deleting entry from the distribution Directory



   I infer the SYSNAME() for the DIRE needs to be reset to *LCL 
because the directories were restored from when the system had a 
different local name.?  Normally this would not be an issue, because 
changing to a new physical system would have the new system 
installed to replace the old system; i.e. keeping the same name [and 
serial number].  Only the USRID() portion of the existing directory 
entry was provided in the quoted text, so I am not sure of what the 
USER() is.  Try the following command; specify USER(ED) if the 
invocation using USER(*SAME) indicates a user is required:

     CHGDIRE USRID(ED FUNAS2) USRD(*SAME) USER(*SAME) SYSNAME(*LCL)

   For the above to be generally effective, some old configurations 
may be required to remain so notifications & distributions can get 
to the local system using the old name.  There is a RNMDIRE to 
correct that situation, to make the USRID update; from OLDUSRID() to 
NEWUSRID().  From WRKDIRE, at least IIRC, there is a method to 
schedule the rename, because it must run only after both /QDLS and 
SNA/DS features are inactive.

Regards, Chuck
