Add DOS-side baseline scripts for the Novell tools used to compare the reimplemented public utilities. The suite covers the current baseline set: MAP SLIST WHOAMI LOGIN / LOGOUT NDIR NCOPY FLAG FLAGDIR CREATOR RIGHTS GRANT REVOKE REMOVE It also includes supporting trustee, rights, rename, move, delete and file-operation tests. Each test writes reproducible output into a per-tool CMP directory and provides a matching ZIP helper for collecting the results. The ZIP helpers clean generated test trees afterwards so SYS: does not keep accumulating temporary directories. This is the Novell baseline layer only. A later change can extend the same scripts to run the full comparison cycle: NPUBLIC baseline -> PUBLIC implementation -> NPUBLIC control

# FILER tests
|
|
|
|
Manual Novell FILER baseline with pre/post output comparison.
|
|
|
|
## Files
|
|
|
|
| File | Purpose |
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|
| `FILPREN.BAT` | Pre-FILER setup and baseline output capture. |
|
|
| `FILPOSTN.BAT` | Post-FILER output capture, compare, and cleanup. |
|
|
| `FILCMPN.BAT` | Repeat PRE/POST comparisons only. |
|
|
| `FILTSTM.TST` | MARS/dosutils regression notes/spec for the scenario. |
|
|
|
|
## Test flow
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
FILPREN.BAT
|
|
NPUBLIC\FILER
|
|
FILPOSTN.BAT
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Optional repeat compare:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
FILCMPN.BAT
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Output comparison
|
|
|
|
`FILPREN.BAT` writes baseline files to:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
F:\TFILE\PRE\*.OUT
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`FILPOSTN.BAT` writes post-FILER files to:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
F:\TFILE\POST\*.OUT
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then `FC` compares:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
FLAGA.OUT
|
|
FLAGB.OUT
|
|
FLAGK.OUT
|
|
NDIR.OUT
|
|
DATES.OUT
|
|
RIGHTS.OUT
|
|
TRUST.OUT
|
|
TRUSTA.OUT
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
No differences are expected if FILER was only used for inspection.
|
|
Intentional differences are expected if attributes or metadata were changed in FILER.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Manual changes to perform in FILER
|
|
|
|
The FILER screen starts at `MARS\SYS:NPUBLIC`. Use the menu to navigate and make a small, controlled change set.
|
|
|
|
### 1. Go to the test directory
|
|
|
|
Use:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
Select Current Directory
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Change to:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
F:\TFILE
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or the equivalent NetWare path:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
MARS\SYS:TFILE
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then use:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
Directory Contents
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should see:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
A.TXT
|
|
B.TXT
|
|
KEEP.TXT
|
|
SUBDIR
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 2. Inspect file and directory information
|
|
|
|
Open/inspect the information screen for:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
A.TXT
|
|
B.TXT
|
|
KEEP.TXT
|
|
SUBDIR
|
|
SUBDIR\C.TXT
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Just opening these screens should exercise the server info-readback paths without changing anything.
|
|
|
|
### 3. Make one or more intentional attribute changes
|
|
|
|
Use FILER to change only a few obvious attributes, so the `PRE` versus `POST` compare is easy to understand.
|
|
|
|
Suggested changes:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
A.TXT Hidden: toggle
|
|
B.TXT Read Only: toggle
|
|
KEEP.TXT Archive Needed: toggle
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If FILER allows editing directory attributes, also inspect `SUBDIR`, but keep directory changes minimal.
|
|
|
|
### 4. Optional no-change pass
|
|
|
|
For a pure readback test, do not change anything in FILER. Then `FILPOSTN.BAT` should show no `FC` differences except harmless output/date formatting differences.
|
|
|
|
### 5. Expected compare results
|
|
|
|
After leaving FILER, run:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
FILPOSTN.BAT
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Expected results:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
No FILER changes:
|
|
FC should report no differences for the PRE/POST files.
|
|
|
|
Changed A.TXT Hidden:
|
|
FLAGA.OUT, NDIR.OUT, DATES.OUT may differ.
|
|
|
|
Changed B.TXT Read Only:
|
|
FLAGB.OUT, NDIR.OUT, DATES.OUT may differ.
|
|
|
|
Changed KEEP.TXT Archive Needed:
|
|
FLAGK.OUT, NDIR.OUT, DATES.OUT may differ.
|
|
|
|
Changed rights/trustees:
|
|
RIGHTS.OUT and/or TRUST*.OUT may differ.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The important part is that the differences match the intentional FILER changes and the server log shows no unexpected completion codes.
|
|
|
|
## Server log focus
|
|
|
|
Look for:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
NCP22/25
|
|
Set Directory/File Information
|
|
change bits
|
|
nwp_stat
|
|
nw_optain_file_dir_info
|
|
nw_search_file_dir
|
|
build_d_i
|
|
```
|
