Failed to read configuration file, exiting.

Missing CLI environment variable.


Connect:Direct CLI Terminated...

Why is happening this?

Thanks, Manuales.

It looks to be pretty self explanatory. The key is:

Failed to read configuration file, exiting.

It is apparently trying to read some configuration file somewhere and failing. That file apparently sets some environment variables, including the CLI variable. Since that variable is not set, the process is terminating.

You need to figure out which file it can't read. Perhaps there is a file you don't have read access to as 'userone'.

You're using NDM right?

Where are you running direct? You need to be in ~/ndm/cfg/servername.

That's how our NDM setup is.

thanks !!!

that is the problem, i do not know what file is !!!!!

What is the "direct" file that you are running? Is it a compiled executable or is it a script that calls other things?

If it is a script, which I think it may be, then you can look at it and see what it is doing and look for any files it may be trying to read.

Manuales,

I think you need to be logged in as user "ndmuser" -- which has the proper environment/profiles for the NDM application.

[Manuales]

check ...

all files under /home/hp/cdunix/../.....
were with userid named usera

i am migrating the userid to other userid ..
the new userid is nemed userb

i renama all usera by userb below ./cdunix/
I update the user in userfile.cfg below
/home/hp/cdunix/ndm/cfg/node1


i do not know where lives CLI variable !!!
do i have restart the application starting up with new userid?

Thanks, Manuales.

On the old account where NDM was/is working, copy the .profile or .login (depending on your shell) so the environment variables are established...

make sure you have the envar defined to wherever you have the ndmapi.cfg file located.

NDMAPICFG=/ndm/cdunix/ndm/cfg/cliapi/ndmapi.cfg


And yes you will need to restart..

I think the fastest resource is from the manufacturer: Sterling Commerce. They have the manuals online and you can contact them to give the details on making their product work:

cdpmgr -i /ndm/cdunix/ndm/cfg/srvname/initparm.cfg

What is missing?
any permission?
any directory?
any file?
Thanks, Manuales.

Hi !!1
I have found the solution !!!
always must have 600 permissions the files named: keys.server and keys.client
with this i can log CLI menu as follows:

./direct

Enter a ';' at the end of a command to submit it. Type 'quit;' to exit CLI.

Direct> quit
;

Connect:Direct CLI Terminated...


Really I'm very happy !!!

Thanks, Manuales.
