Hello Renato!
you wrote to Barry Blackford:
RZ> Interesting, allfix create the package always with same name (day:),
The name isn't based on the day, but the destination system. That's why
it's always the same.
From the allfix.doc:
The naming convention that ALLFIX uses for TIC archive packages is
af follows:
The first eight digits of the filename are used to code the
destination system's node number. ALLFIX can calculate a name
based on the node number, but it is not possible to determine the
system's node number based on the filename of the TIC archive. The
extension of the TIC archive filename always begins with the
letter "C" and ends with two digits. The two digits are follow up
numbers. In some situations, more than one TIC archive needs to be
created per system. In that case, the follow up numbers are
incremented. The system has an added benefit that if two identical
TIC archives arrive at a system, the mailer may automatically
increment the last character of the filename, in order to prevent
the original file from being over-written. In the case of a TIC
archive, following the ALLFIX naming convention, the follow up
number is incremented, which does not affect ALLFIX in any way. If
the filename was based on the older naming convention, one would
end up with file names that were no longer recognized as TIC
archives.
Greetings,
