Event ID: 803
Source: COMTI CapturePlayback
Type: Error
Category: Recording
(803) COM Transaction Integrator recording object failed to update a
recording file for a capture or playback Remote Environment:
Recording File Identifier:
{6F3BF771-BE88-11D1-B04D-00C04FD5BD02}
Exception Description:
(8336) Unable to open recording
c:\program files\sna\comti\recordings\test.rcd for writing,
HRESULT = 0x80030005.
Explanation:
The recording object failed in servicing a request to update the summary
information in a recording file. This failure may indicate that the
recording file path is invalid, that the user lacks permission to modify
a file in the folder identified by the recording path, or that the
recording file is read-only.
Action:
Start the COMTI Management Console. Select the Remote Environments
folder. Locate the capture or playback Remote Environment associated
with the recording file. Right-click to view action options, and select
Properties. Select the Recording tab to view recording file information.
Examine the recording file path and make sure that it is valid. If the
Create Date field is blank, the recording object does not recognize the
file as a valid recording, and it may be corrupted. If the Create Date
field is valid, make sure that the recording is not identified as read-
only. To create a new recording file, enter a unique path name and click
Apply. To use a different existing recording file, use the Browse key to
select a different recording file and click Open.
