SYMPTOMS

During the T1 phase of automatic directory synchronization (Dir-Sync), or when you manually run the requestor transmit process REQMAIN -T, the following error messages may be displayed in the DIRSYNC.LOG file:

CAUSE

This error occurs when the REQTRANS.GLB transaction file is missing from the GLB subdirectory on the postoffice.
