[Openroad-users] Error E_DO0073 - Intermediate storage file couldnot be opened.

[Russell Neal]

Hi Brian,
The Ingres System Administrator's Guide says

"II_TEMPORARY Specifies the directory where temporary files used by the
Ingres/Tools are
created. By default, these files are created in the user's current
directory. "

I'm not sure what that equates to in Windows - perhaps the "start in"
directory in the properties of the Ingres program you are running- e.g.
on my PC the OpenROAD Workbench starts in %II_SYSTEM%\ingres\bin.

And I did not get quite the same results as Graham Jakins, I found that
if ran "ingunset II_TEMPORARY", then Ingres and OpenROAD started fine,
but if I set II_TEMPORARY to an invalid directory, then Ingres started
but OpenROAD gave the E_DO0073 error.

Let me know what you find tomorrow.  I am in Australia, so don't expect
an answer until late in your day.
Cheers
Russell

Russell,
I checked, at first it did not have an II_TEMPORARY variable.  It would
not load.
I checked my machine's variables and saw one, so I set one on his and
made sure he had the directory.  Still no luck.
Machine is at the office, so I will have to work more with it in the
morning.
Didn't look at errlog.log, but did check w4gl.log, but it only had what
I saw in the trace window.
If II_temporary is not set, what directory is it using?
I patched up through 11526.
Brian
