• Article Type: General
• Product: Aleph
• Product Version: 22

Problem Symptoms:
AIK Step 2.7 fails immediately with the following error message:

"Error: The files cobol5.SunOS.sparc.tar.gz do not exist in /exlibris/ftp_from_exlibris"

Cause:
The tar archive cobol5.SunOS.sparc.tar.gz which includes the software of the COBOL environment Micro Focus Server Express 5 does not exist in the directory /exlibris/ftp_from_exlibris on the Aleph server.


Root cause:
-----------
-- AIK Step 1.1 is supposed to download all 3rd-party products for Aleph 22, including the COBOL environment.

-- At first, the relevant AIK script downloads a file named linklist from the directory global.new/SunOS.sparc of the ftp server ftp.exlibris-usa.com.

-- The file linklist includes a list of 3rd-party products and indicates for which Ex Libris applications each 3rd-party product needs to be downloaded and installed.

Example:
The following line of the file linklist indicates that the 3rd-party product JDK 1.7.0_51 needs to be downloaded and installed for the Ex Libris applications Aleph 22, MetaLib and ARC 4.

jdk1.7.0_51,local/java,metalib aleph22 arc4,sparc


-- The relevant script of AIK 22 downloads all 3rd-party products which carry the label aleph22 in the file linklist.

-- However, the COBOL environment has the label aleph in the file linklist:

cobol5,local/cobol,dtl metalib aleph,sparc

This is a bug in the file linklist.


-- Therefore AIK Step 1.1 does not download the file cobol5.SunOS.sparc.tar.gz.

Resolution:
Workaround:

(1)
Download the file cobol5.SunOS.sparc.tar.gz manually from the directory global.new/SunOS.sparc of the Ex Libris ftp server to the directory /exlibris/ftp_from_exlibris on the Aleph server. For this purpose please connect to the ftp server as user produser.


(2)
Execute AIK Step 2.7 again.
