What am I doing wrong?
I used the load convert -l convert.ind command to create a file, then deleted all but the first 2 entries and issued:
load convert -f convert.ind * mail85.ntf
No matter what variation I try, I still get the same results:
Mail conversion Utility Starting
Mail Convert Failed: None of the specified databases’ templates match ‘*’
Mail conversion Utility shutdown
Any Ideas
Subject: Try adding single quotes around *
load convert -f convert.ind ‘*’ mail85.ntf
Subject: No dice
Doing that just yielded the same thing with extra quotes around it:
Mail Convert Failed: None of the specified databases’ templates match ‘’*‘’
Subject: did you use load convert -l?
If so, it probably created the file as EBCDIC with ASCII line feeds. Technote 178824 discusses it: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=899&context=SWA40&context=SWA50&context=SWA60&context=SWD10&context=SS4R7J&context=SSES8G&context=SSKTYF&context=SSMT72&context=SSPQ7E&context=SSMSB2&context=SS6JVW&context=SS5LUA&context=SSCM2P&context=SS3LP9&context=SSFLMV&context=SSESJN&context=SSKTPA&context=SSVHEW&context=SSVHFY&context=SSVLBW&dc=DA410&dc=DA450&dc=DA430&dc=DA440&dc=D600&dc=D700&dc=DB510&dc=DB520&dc=D800&dc=D900&dc=DA900&dc=DA800&dc=DB540&dc=DB400&dc=DB560&dc=DB530&dc=DA600&dc=DA420&dc=DA460&dc=DB300&dc=DA470&dc=DA480&dc=DB100&dc=DA4A10&dc=DA4A20&dc=DA700&dc=DA4A30&dc=DA400&dc=DA100&dc=DA500&dc=D200&dc=DB700&dc=DB600&dc=DB550&dc=D100&q1=178824&uid=swg21097781&loc=en_US&cs=UTF-8&lang=all
It would be interesting if this is still happening because it was supposedly fixed in 5.0.3.
Subject: Eureka!
OK, I kept playing & finally got it to work with a variation of the solution in the technote: I left the CCSID of the file alone, changed the Stream File EOL option to *LF, deleted everything in the file & manually added a few lines:
mail/atl/mpitts.nsf
mail/aus/jcoe.nsf
and then it worked!
Subject: I tried it both ways - still ng
I tried creating a file natively on the 400, as well as using a stripped down file as the result of a load convert -l, with the same results. Then I tried following the instructions in the technote you mentioned, using EDTF to create a new file, but the utility couldn’t interpret the results:
Mail Convert Failed: Unable to open database file: ‘/N% /IE!^~…’: File does not exist
