Re: [Re: SQR 4717 Error, Output file not accessable]

[Steve Schelske <skschelske@WORLDNET.ATT.NET>]

To check the defaults for an operator class, go into Security Administrator,
open the operator class and then from the menu choose Edit, Process Profile.
This will show you the default output destinations.

See if %outputdest% is referenced here, or make sure that the values are
valid if these are in fact the values that PeopleSoft using in the
resolution of the %outputdest% metastring.

If you do find an error in the Process Profile, you may need to use a new
run control id after you make any changes to insure that you get the new
values.
