Re: W98 SQL V8 Client Problems

Matthias,

This error 14 is this a Btrieve error status? What format are the db
files you are using? A butil -stat operation of a data file will tell
you. I have not heard of such problems. I'll talk to a few colleagues
about it and get back to you.

Hello Randy,

to come to the most important point first I'm unfortunately not a database
expert.
The application my customer is running is DOS-based and was specially
designed for him several years ago. Because he has bought his new server
from me an not from his software developer's company they're a little bit
angry and not very helpful. Their succinct answer: "This is not a problem of
our application".
I've investigated that the error numbers are eqiuvalent to the Btrieve error
status codes and the db files are in the version 5 format. And maybe this is
the problem. Can you tell me how I can convert the db-files in the new
format?

Regards,

Matthias

Matthias,

You can rebuild the files with the Pervasive GUI utility called
"rebuild". First you enter a list of files. Then you start the rebuild
process. Back up your files first.

To complete this thread: The Problem is solved, it was caused by long path
name. The database path was "sys:longpathname\database" with a root mapping
from "h:" to "sys:longpathname". The program refers to "h:\database". After
renaming "sys:longpathname" to "sys:shortpn" and changing the root mapping
it finally works.
The strange thing is that under NetWare 5 the path name was identical long
and the database worked fine. As mentioned the problem only occured with
Windows 98 clients and depended not upon the NetWare Requester version.

Hello,

after hours of unsuccessful search I have decided to put my problem in
this
NG.

A customer has updated his NetWare 5.0 Server with a Btrieve 6.10f
database
to NetWare 6 SP3 and Pervasive SQL V8 SP1 and has now problems to work
with
the database from his Windows 98 SE Clients. The PCs have NetWare Client
3.32 SP2 and SQL V8 Client installed and it is a pure TCP/IP environment.

From Windows 98 Clients it is possible to login into the database, to view
and to change records but if you print or create a new record it results
in
an "error 14".

With a Windows XP Client (NetWare Client 4.83 SP2 and SQL V8 Client) it is
possible to print and create records.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Matthias
