Category: Architecture Group: Design Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Daniel Sutcliffe (dansut) Assigned to: Daniel Sutcliffe (dansut) Summary: Using OpenSTAs tools without Admin privs gives poor errors Initial Comment: It was never originally intended that OpenSTA be run as anything as a user with Administration privs - that being said if it is attempted the errors and symptoms the tools show are not at all obvious as to what the problem is. This bug exists mainly to alert the user to the above fact and to point to this FAQ entry: http://portal.opensta.org/faq.php?topic=NonAdminProblems If you hit new symptoms that are not mentioned in the above FAQ then please add them to that FAQ and not this bug request. The solution of this bug may be: to simply cause the tools to fail gracefully with good error messages in this situation, to fix the tools so they can run, or some conbination of the above. The direction that is taken will depend on information gethered through the FAQ entry and discussed on the OpenSTA-Users mailing list. Please also reference bug#1199254 which addresses similar issues attempting to run OpenSTA on WinXP Home edition. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Danny Faught (faught) Date: 2006-08-22 12:27 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=576825 I just found a permissions problem unrelated to admin privileges, but is likely to involve the same code that is not properly checking for failure due to filesystem permissions. I had pulled my repository out from SourceSafe. My script file was not checked out, so the write permissions on the file were turned off. Not realizing that I needed to check out the file, I made changes to the script, clicked the Save button, and got no error. In fact, when I exited the Script Modeler, all of my changes were lost. The Script Modeler needs to check for errors when saving the file. I'm running OpenSTA 1.4.3.20 and Script Modeler 1.4.3.6 on Windows XP Pro SP2. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=110857&aid=1522078&group_id=10857 |
