0508W

USER userid’S DIRECTORY, WHICH WAS JUST EDITED, WILL NOT LOOK

Reason:

Message continued with 0509W. You have entered the CA VM:Director command EDX userid and have been placed in XEDIT in the user ID’s directory entry. You have removed or changed one or more directory statements, and filed the changes. CA VM:Director has detected that some directory statements from the user ID’s directory profile will be in effect for that user ID, because they are not overridden by any statement in the directory entry.

For example, if you deleted all OPTION statements from the directory entry you edited, but the included profile contains OPTION statements, the options specified in the profile take effect. You can prevent this by leaving at least one OPTION statement in the file presented by EDX or by removing the INCLUDE statement while in XEDIT.

CA VM:Director sends messages 0508 through 0515 to inform you that there are hidden effects of the INCLUDE statement, effects that were not obvious when you filed the changes. Messages 0508 through 0513 prompt you for a decision about the problem.

Action:

You can enter YES to edit the file and fix the problem, NO to accept the hidden effects and perform the update, or CANCEL to cancel the update. CANCEL will restore the directory entry to the state it was in before you issued EDX.
