Hello NG

one of our customers wants to change the path for the Transaction Log
Directory from the standard SYS:SYSTEM/MKDE/LOG to another volume
(BILD1:MKDE/LOG, BILD1 is another volume of the same server as SYS).
They did it some years ago without problems but now with a new server
the directory does not change. In Setup32 (Win) they changed the
value, the new entry appears in system\bti.cfg but after a restart the
log files are still in sys:system\mkde\log. I tried it in my test
environment and everything worked fine. Where is the problem?

Environment:
Novell 5.0 SP6a
P.SQL 7.0 SP5


TIA
Karl

Do they by any chance have a bti.lck file in the sys:system folder?
This is the only lock file that Pervasive uses and if it is still
there it does cause issues (not being able to change the settings or
settings ignored).

a search for bti.* over the whole SYS yields only in bti.cfg. In fact,
I think I have never seen a file bti.lck but I might be wrong.

Only to be sure: When I change settings in the Setup utility these
changes are written into bti.cfg. If I run Setup again, I still see
the actual settings, not the changed ones. bti.cfg is read at the next
restart of the server and the changes take effect.

Now what can I do?

Your problem is that Pervasive.SQL is loading on the server BEFORE you've
mounted the new volume, When the engine starts, it sees that the requested
volume is not there, and it corrects itself during the loading process.

Change your AUTOEXEC.NCF to MOUNT ALL drives BEFORE you start your
networking infrastructure, and this problem will go away.
