-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
The following error may be reported in the DIRSYNC.LOG file for the server
postoffice when you run directory synchronization (Dir-Sync):
Warning [ 2] Error opening file: MSTTRANS
Fatal [ 2] Error opening file: MSTTRANS
CAUSE
=====
The MSTTRANS.GLB file is missing from the GLB directory on the Dir-Sync server
postoffice.
RESOLUTION
==========
The best resolution is to restore the MSTTRANS.GLB file from a backup copy and
have all requestor postoffices perform a Dir-Sync Export (by starting the Mail
Administrator program [ADMIN.EXE], under Config, Dir-Sync Requestor, Export).
If a backup copy of the postoffice is not available, the resolution depends on
the version of Mail that is running:
For Mail 3.0
------------
1. Create a new MSTTRANS.GLB file by using the following MS-DOS command from
within the GLB directory of the server postoffice:
type nul > msttrans.glb
2. Turn off the Dir-Sync server from the Mail Administrator program (by
selecting Config, Dir-Sync, Options, No, Yes).
3. Use the LISTDS utility to reset the REQCONF.GLB file on all the postoffices
participating in Dir-Sync. If this utility is not available, install a dummy
postoffice and copy the REQCONF.GLB file from the dummy postoffice to all the
GLB directories of all postoffices participating in Dir-Sync.
4. Turn on the Dir-Sync server again from the Mail Administrator program (by
selecting Config, Dir-Sync, Options, Yes).
5. Re-register all of the requestors with the Dir-Sync server by selecting
Config, Dir-Sync, Server, Requestors, Create, Networks, and selecting each
requestor you want to register with the Dir-Sync server.
6. Select Config, Dir-Sync, Requestor, Export to export the server[ASCII 146]s
address list.
7. Reconfigure all the requestors to go to the Dir-Sync server (by selecting
Config, Dir-Sync Requestor, Registration), and export the address list (by
selecting Config, Dir-Sync, Requestor, Export)
For Mail 3.2 and 3.5
--------------------
1. Create a new MSTTRANS.GLB file by using the following MS-DOS command from
within the GLB directory of the server postoffice:
type nul > msttrans.glb
2. Export all the address lists of all requestors from the Mail Administrator
program (by selecting Config, Dir-Sync, Requestor, Export.
NOTE: Errors 138 and 139 will be generated by Dir-Sync in the DIRSYNC.LOG file
for all the requestors; however, you can ignore these errors because as the
Export operation will cover any transactions lost due to the missing
MSTTRANS.GLB file.
