Re: no server engine, only local workstation engines, Status 116

You should not mix versions of Pervasive. Move all to version 8 or 9.

Below is the text for this error and notice the last paragraph.

116: The file is owned by another Microkernel engine acting as a
Gateway
The MicroKernel cannot contact the engine running on the gateway
computer even though it can read the locator file. This might occur the
following reasons:

When the two computers are separated by a router so they can both see
the server, but cannot see one another. Try the following:
Use the Gateway Locator utility to identify the owner of the gateway.
Use either the InstallScout or SmartScout utility to connect to that
computer.

You may have attempted to open a file with two different workgroup
engines that are mapped to the files using different share names. The
MicroKernel attempts to correct this, but cannot do so in all cases.
Make sure each computer is mapping to the same share name.

Hello,

we have here at a customer an environment which consists of:

File-server without P-SQL engine (not allowed). But the data bases are
located here.
Three Workstations (1 * P-SQL 8.0, 2 * P-SQL 9.1, acting as local
workstation engine) with different applications. They access the
databases at the fileserver only every few minutes.

We think, that having no server engine is acceptable because until now
there is only ab few kilobytes traffic in a minute.

But from time to time we get an Btrieve Error 116.
I don't understand the message concerning "gateway", because I want to
have a local engine. So I deactivated remote access for request and
external request.
The problem is mostly present, when the network is weak or when (seldom)
a workstation application fails and can only be solved by restarting the
workstation(s).

How have I to configure P-SQL to act as an simple local workstation engine?
