ADS Client Server (SAP)

[Cliff Wiernik]

What we do is the following:

Shortcut:
Program c:\yourprogram\yourprogram.exe
start in z:\mysharedfolder\data

Your program need to attempt to find the server from a shared folder on the ADS server drives. It your program is loaded on the C: drive and that is where you are starting your program and that is your default drive/folder, then it attempts to find an ADS server on the C: drive, which is not correct. If you start on the Z: drive, as per the above example, it will attempt to connect to an ADS server located on the server owning your shared drive.

Roger,

The tech person at the site said to try \\ae-data01:6262\Apps\Omni\oiswin. I worked in their arc, so now need to figure out what to do in our set up.
That is the full network path to our databases.

Tried putting that in the dbesys instead of z:\oiswin and it gave me error 5004, did not have rights to open file Files do open in ARC.

Thanks

Fred

Now we are back to the first error we had 2 days ago.

I would try putting the following at the start of DBESYS.PRG:

AX_RightsCheck(.f.)

Same error. Had to put it after the cdx was loaded, gave an error at the top when running it before that.

What happens if you connect with Xdot.exe?

xdot /ac /al /srv:\\ae-data01:6262\Apps\Omni\oiswin

. SET DEFAULT TO \\ae-data01:6262\Apps\Omni\oiswin
. USE somedatabase

[omni]

Unable to connect to ads server
dbe=adsdbe:server=T:
error code 5381

Still thinks using the command that the server is loaded on t:, apparently.

[rdonnay]

Give me another phone call.

Another question regarding this clients starting. Even though they currrently are still not live on the ADS, we are doing some preliminary testing on inquires and printouts although not updating any of their live data using the ads menu. When we try to do any report that sorts to a work file we get an empty work file and no records found. Running on the normal menu gets a full report, as it should. Checked the work file each time and it is empty and should have hundreds of records.
Thought it may have to do with indexes but unsure, since these files have not been reindexed in ADS. The indexes work fine on standard file listings and inquiries using ADS, so I am stumped.

Any reason for this?

Ads cannot create files on the local drive.

It can only create files on the server.

If you are creating temporary databases or indexes on a local drive, you need to use FOXCDX.

Its creating the files on the server as it should, they are just empty. Does the fact that its a remote server have to do with it..ie, possibly temp files while creating the work file?
