JR45622: Error 52 (bad file name or number) when opening the Match Designer

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The Match Designer initialization process includes
  confirmation that the ODBC DSN (Data Source Name)
  specified in the Match Designer Test Environment is
  operational on both the client and server systems.  To
  do this, the path to the current DataStage/QualityStage
  (DS/QS) project is determined and then an attempt is
  made to determine whether this path exists on the system
  where the Match Designer client is installed.  An error
  is occurring when an attempt is made to search a drive
  that does not contain any media (such as an empty CD
  drive). For example, this error will occur if all of
  the following conditions are met:
  - The DS/QS client and server are located on separate
    systems.
  - The current DS/QS project is located on the server
    system's D-drive.
  - The D-drive on the client system is a CD drive that
    does not contain a CD.
  

Local fix

• The simplest way to get past this problem is to place
  any CD in the D-drive of the client system when opening
  the Match Designer. The presence of this CD path search
  and the error should not occur.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  Match Designer users where the server is on a drive which has
  the same volume letter as a CD drive on the client

Problem conclusion

• Improve the path checking so as to not be confused by checking
  an empty CDROM drive.
