AIK: "Wrong User, aleph user required, exits" in sdbdesc.sh

• Article Type: General
• Product: Aleph
• Product Version: 20

Description:
In our Aleph 18 installation we want to use util sdbdesc.sh (as described in Appendix C, Create Source Database Files List and
Sizes) in Aleph Installation Kit.pdf.

We get this message:

ERROR: Wrong User, aleph user required, exits

Resolution:
Your Aleph 18 installation (done by Ex Libris Germany) does not have user aleph but user m181.

The following file was locally changed to solve the problem:

>>pwd
/exlibris/ftp_from_exlibris/sdbdesc
>>diff createSrcDbDescMain.bash.save createSrcDbDescMain.bash
8,10c8,10
< if [ "${USER}" != "aleph" ] ; then
< LOG "ERROR: Wrong User, aleph user required, exits"
< ERROR "Execute $0 requires aleph user...aborting" "$0"
---
> if [ "${USER}" != "m181" ] ; then
> LOG "ERROR: Wrong User, m181 user required, exits"
> ERROR "Execute $0 requires m181 user...aborting" "$0"
