Hi:

We are migrating from Mercator 6.7.1 to WSTX 8.1.03.
We have compiled all source maps, also msl files, type trees, etc.

Then we create a copy of all the environment from Production box to pre-production box, in order to test all systems.

We are getting this error, and cannot determine why. We think about permissions at aix box, but this is not the problem.

<TargetReport card="3" adapter="File" bytes="947" adapterreturn="-99998">
<Message>Shadow file rename failed</Message>
<Settings>/home/entornos/integracion/itf/datos/out/n_sic/mensatmp/caprabo/MEN0125.20080221143542_ppal</Settings>
</TargetReport>

Cannot determine where the error is, any help will be welcome ...

From what I remember, this has to do with using the wildcard for the filename. It's been a while since I've seen it, but you may want to check that aspect out.

WTX 8.x uses much long filenames for shadow (temporary) files, and this may conflict if you are using the product on a file system that cannot accept long filenames, such as certain remote drives restricted to 8.3 format.

There is an environment variable you can set, which will force shadow files to 8.3 format, but I can't remember it off the top of my head.

I'll do some research tomorrow, and try to get back to you.

I just had a similar problem converting a map from 6.5.1 to 6.7.1. It reported the error on an output file but turned out to be a conflict of log file names.
The map was being run dozens of time from another map and had the default log file name. Changing this to unique solved the problem.

I can't find my notes on this 8.3 filename restriction variable. Are you running the map (or using source/target or work files) on an 8.3 restricted file system?

If not then I'll stop looking now.
