If you are positive there are files archived in the  /gwc10312008/ofuser/
directory, I can't help.

However if there are files archived in the /gwc10312008/ofuser tree,  I
would try adding -subdir=yes to your  query archive command.

  Hello all,

Need more assistance with a retrieve command (seems there are many
different veriations)

When we perform q ar dochub/migrate:/gwc10312008/ofuser/  we get "no files
matching".



Below is the command I used to try to  retrieve files.
tried it w/ the switches after the retrieve command, as well as at the end
as shown here.

retrieve DOCGW2\MIGRATE:/GWC11282008/cohq/*
docgrps\migrate:c112808/GWC11282008/cohq/ -replace=all -subdir=yes
