The file \path\file_name could not be read; therefore, it could not be gathered

Source:  ZENworks for Servers; Tiered Electronic Distribution; Distributor Agent

Explanation:  This is an I/O error indicating that the Distributor Agent could not read a file that it needs to gather into the Distribution that it is building.

Whether the Distributor Agent continues building the Distribution after this error has occurred depends on how you have configured the Distribution object. If you set Error Handling to Continue on Error, the Distributor Agent will continue to build the Distribution, skipping the file where the error occurred. If you set Error Handling to Fail on Error, the Distributor Agent will halt processing. For more information, see Error Handling in Policy and Distribution Services in the Administration guide.

Possible Cause:  The file does not exist in the location where the Distributor Agent is attempting to gather it from.

Action:  Verify the information you have provided on the Type property page of the Distribution object, as described in Creating and Configuring Distributions in Policy and Distribution Services in the Administration guide.

Possible Cause:  The Distributor Agent does not have sufficient rights to read the file.

Possible Cause:  The file has been damaged so that the Distributor Agent cannot read it.

Action:  Manually check the file to see what rights it has and to verify that it is not damaged.
