Utility RENAMEFILE

jimvaughan · October 2019

We have a user that sporadically has the following code fail to rename a file. Anyone else ever seen anything like this? The user is running OI using RDP. Test_Dir is passed to the below code and does not change.

Err = ""
Test1_File = Test_Dir:"test1"
Test2_File = Test_Dir:"test2"
Test_Handle = ""

OsWrite "" To Test1_File
OsOpen Test1_File To Test_Handle Then
OsClose Test_Handle
Call Utility('RENAMEFILE',test1_File,test2_File)
OsOpen Test2_File To Test_Handle Then
OsClose Test_Handle
End Else
Err = 1
Call Errx(10332, Test_Dir); * Unable To Rename File In ":Test_Dir:" Check Your Access Rights
End
OsDelete Test2_File
End Else
Err = 1
Call Errx(10333, Test_Dir); * Unable To Create File In ":Test_Dir:" Check Your Access Rights
End
Return Err

Shouldn't there be a \ between Test_Dir and "test1" (and "test2")? Or is it part of Test_Dir?

Test_Die is terminated with a "\"

The strange thing is this code works on every install we have and only intermittently fails on this one machine.

Have you tried renaming it manually in windows, to see what error it gives, if any.

jimvaughan · October 2019

Yes, we can not reproduce it. It works every time manually.

I've never seen this happen before. Can I assume that when the RenameFile service fails, you get a response indicating it failed? My best guess is that this machine is locking the file at the same time the RenameFile service is trying to operate. I would check to see if there are any antivirus or malware programs targeting the folder. Also, is this a folder that is managed by a cloud file-sharing service like Dropbox or OneDrive?

That's some interesting ideas, let me ask the customer if any of those are true.
