Deployment to an AFS directory

ashokc

Hi,

The host on which I run OD 5.6 (with SP 1) has full write access to a directory on AFS. Anyone logged into the OD host can write to this AFS directory. I have verified that.

Now, I want to deploy to this AFS directory, as the OD host can act as its own receiver. It fails with the following ERROR messages

LIB: (3) 2004-03-10 19:47:27 Received 'get' request for (./Community)
LIB: 2004-03-10 19:47:27 Receiver-ERROR: ERROR: DoCopying() failed, check target log.
LIB: 2004-03-10 19:47:27 ERROR: Failed to deploy local_directory[.] of area[/default/main/qualcomm/EDITION/Test_by_Ashok_for_dm
z_deployment]
LIB: 2004-03-10 19:47:27 ERROR: Failed 1 of 1 local_directories

Now when I use the same deployment xml file but change the target directory to a "local directory" such as "/opt/iw/opendeploy/OpenDeployNG/tmp", it deploys fine!

Does anyone have insights into what is different with an AFS directory that is causing the failure? Thanks

There were problems with, I believe, OpenDeploy 4.x on AFS (OD 3.x worked) - but that was many moons ago and I have no idea if the customer I was working with is using OD with AFS any more - and if so, what versions.

I seem to recall they had to use some kerberos script to generate authentication tokens for the receiver (again, this was *before* the major changes that took place in OD 5.x - so I'm not sure if they still apply)

You should probably contact support - but they won't be able to do too much for you directly as Interwoven (to the best of my knowledge) does not have any AFS servers in-house. However, they might be able to liason you with an Engineer to help diagnose the problem....
