Message type: E = Error
Message class: TK - Transport Organizer
Message number: 297
Message text: Cannot access global object directory (GTADIR)
The local object directory entry for object & & & was changed (author,
original system, or package). It was not possible to check whether this
change is consistent with the global object directory (GTADIR), since
this was not available at the time at which the change was made.
The check could not be repeated. Either the global object directory is
still not available or else it was established during the check that
the entry in the local object directory is inconsistent.
Before carrying out the transport, call program RDDTTAD1.
This program is used to check objects for consistency with the global
object directory after a change has been made.
If an inconsistency is found, the object in question is <ZH>not</>
released, and consequently cannot be transported.
If this happens, contact your system administrator.
