Executing DSMIT fails with error 1800-204.

Question:


   Env:
   Desc: Executing DSMIT fails with error, 1800-204:
   Redefining collective fail.  Host XXX is not defined;
   Action: Researching. 
   Next Action: Callback at pager: (619) 989-2197.
   Test Case:

Response:

Invoice:  Co-worker consultation.
Next Action: Bringing in co-worker.

Response:

Action: After doing a little investigating, I was able to
   reproduce this on 2 of my systems.  On one where dsmit worked
   properly, I tried the command:

   dsmit -w burn.austin.ibm.com   and it failed (because the
   fully qualified pathname was not defined)
   However, his computer's hostname was simply "opus".

   Next, I found a machine where dsmit all by itself failed, just
   like Steve's.  I looked at my /usr/share/DSMIT/hosts file, and
   it had one line:

   :AIX_3.2:0

   On a working system, this file had:

   burn:AIX_3.2:0

   Apparently, on our test machine (as with Steve), the hostname had
   been set AFTER dsmit was installed, and so the hostname was a NULL
   in the hosts file.  He added in "opus" at the beginning, and all
   is well.

Next: closing
