Error description

  • When two ptf have the same lpp_name, i.e. :
    U833307.bff 4 N I bos.help.msg.en_US {
    bos.help.msg.en_US.smit 06.01.0005.0000 1 N U en_US SMIT
    Context Helps - U.S. English
    ...
    U833306.bff 4 N I bos.help.msg.en_US {
    bos.help.msg.en_US.com 06.01.0005.0000 1 N U en_US WebSM/
    SMIT Context Helps - U.S. English
    bffcreate -c will not rename the second file with .1 like
    bos.help.msg.en_US.6.1.5.0.N.I.1
    So the second ptf file will overwrite the first one, so
    one ptf is lost.
    

Local fix

  • Using bffcreate to copy the fileset from one directory to
    another will correctly create two files :
    bffcreate -X -q -v -t <target> -d <source>
    

Problem summary

  • When running bffcreate -c ..., if there is more than on PFT
    with the same LPP name, unique filenames will not be created.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Append number to the LPP filename to generate a unique file
    name. Running bffcreate without the -c option already does
    this.
    

Temporary fix
