SYMPTOMS
When you use the COM Transaction Integrator for CICS and IMS (COMTI) Component Builder (CB), an attempt is made to save a component library, which produces the following error message:

Path not found.

The same error message may also be displayed when you use functions like copy, paste, or drag and drop.



CAUSE
The application seeks a directory to store temporary files it uses. It gets this directory by calling GetTempPath (a windows base services function). It first looks for a TMP environment variable, then a TEMP environment variable, and if neither of these is defined, GetTempPath returns the path to the Windows directory. It does not check to see if the path actually exists. This article describes the situation where the environment variable has a path to a directory that does not exist.



WORKAROUND
Create the directory specified by the TEMP or TMP environment variable.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft SNA Server version 4.0.
