SYMPTOMS

In the DISPATCH.LOG file, the following error may be displayed:

NSDA -xx terminated with exit code 2

where xx could be RT, RR, or S.

CAUSE

Dispatch is unable to locate the Directory Synchronization (Dir-Sync) files.

RESOLUTION

Make sure that all the following Dir-Sync files are available and in the same directory location.

DISPATCH.EXE
NSDA.EXE
REQMAIN.EXE
SRVMAIN.EXE
IMPORT.EXE
REBUILD.EXE

NOTE: Do not rely on a search path to launch DISPATCH.EXE, as it will not be able to find the rest of the Dir-Sync executables. Only run DISPATCH.EXE from its own directory location.

MORE INFORMATION

When Dispatch finds a ready process to execute, it launches the appropriate NSDA process.

   At T1, DISPATCH launches NSDA -RT
   At T2, DISPATCH launches NSDA -S
   At T3, DISPATCH launches NSDA -RR

NSDA in turn launches other programs.

   At T1, NSDA launches REQMAIN -t
   At T2, NSDA launches SRVMAIN -r and SRVMAIN -t
   At T3, NSDA launches REQMAIN -r, IMPORT... and REBUILD...
