Belated heads up: deleted file putback warnings messages

Subject: Belated heads up: deleted file putback warnings messages

Hello All,

If you notice warning messages related to the "mv" command during the putback of
a renamed file involving both "usr" and "deleted_files" directories, then
*PLEASE IGNORE*: This is not a bug, it is an expected message from Teamware.
The putback is actually successful.

What is the format of the warning message?
==========================================

  "mv: cannot change owner and group of ... Not owner"

Why do we see the message?
===========================

TeamWare is using the "mv" utility to move the files to the "deleted_files"
directory. If a file is owned by "dev1" in a common integration and an another
user (say, "dev2") is going to move this file to the "deleted_files", then
everything works just fine in his/her private workspace, because all the files
are owned by the user "dev2" there. But during the putback, these files are
moved to the "deleted_files" in this common integration area, and at this
moment the "mv" utility will print a warning message that it cannot change the
owner and the group ID.


Just to summarize:
==================

Putback will rename the file, but prints that warning message,
in case this file is owned by another user, so you cannot change
the owner and the group permissions.

Any Questions?
===============

If you have any further questions or problems, please send us email at gk at onnv dot eng.


Thanks, and apologies for any inconvenience or confusion,
-Suha
