Hello,

I am using Sybase ASA 9.0.0.1108 on a Windows 7 Professional SP1.

When running the following line in a batch file, I receive a "Specified database not found" error message:

dbbackup -c "eng=MyDatabaseSvc;dbn=SampleDb;uid=ABC;pwd=12345; " -x -y- o .\Backup\LogFile.txt .\Backup

I initially created a service (MyDatabaseSvc) and connected to the database(database name=SampleDb; database filename=demolive.db) in Sybase Central. I tried disconnecting the database, stopping the service, creating an ODBC DSN to the database. Nothing would make the message go away.

The Backup Database utility within Sybase Central works flawlessly.

I launch Sybase Central and "Run As Administrator". Same goes for the batchfile.

Am I missing something? What can I do to get the batch file to run?

Regards.

Nevermind. After 4 days of zero response, I found the solution on my own. I needed to add the dbf parameter to the connection string. Instead of this:

dbbackup -c "eng=MyDatabaseSvc;dbn=SampleDb;uid=ABC;pwd=12345; " -x -y- o .\Backup\LogFile.txt .\Backup

I write it like this:

dbbackup -c "eng=MyDatabaseSvc;dbn=SampleDb;dbf=.\mydbase.db;u id=ABC;pwd=12345;" -x -y- o .\Backup\LogFile.txt .\Backup

Thanks a lot.
