Re: Upgrade from Version 5 to Version 9.5 - Help Again

Brad,

I saw that in the documentation and the file exists. I have not idea if it is correct, but it is there. Strangely I cannot run the application if I use the newer DOS utilities that I installed on the server. It only works with the old version 5.0 that it came with. I am not overly impressed with the programmers talents at this point.

There is nothing in the batch file about BUTIL, so I will assume that BUTIL is being called from the bmmenu5.exe, which is being called from the batch file. Is there any debug utilities out there that I can run to see what is actually happening?

thanks again for the help.

Robert

The documentation says the following:
--------------
BUTIL-1: Message file initialization failed
Only BUTIL.EXE in DOS returns this message. The utility could not find the BUTILDOS.MSG file, which contains messages that the utility uses. Ensure that you installed NetWare Communication Services correctly.

--------------

What BUTIL command is being run after you log out. The command is probably in the batch file that runs the application in question. If the command is BUTIL -STOP try REMing that out and inserting BREQUEST /U instead.

I can login and the interface seems to work for most of it, but when I log out I get an error from Butil that says:

BUTIL-1:Wrong version of message file or message file not found.

Any suggestions?

Thanks again for all the help.

Thanks Brad. That seemed to work. I will have to test it to make sure that all the components work.

Thanks again for the help.

What you can do is REM the line that loads the driver in CONFIG.NT. This will disable the DOS file access in the Pervasive Client. After that go back to using BREQUEST and it should work. You may also have to re-install the Netware client and include IPX/SPX support. Actually, IPX/SPX may need to be enabled on the server as well.

Thanks for the reply. The CONFIG.NT is there and it says it is going to load the btrdrvr.sys file. I cannot get the application to load, so I have to think that the application will not run without the BREQUEST and BUTIL functions working. I get an error from both.

Thanks again for the help.

If you installed the 9.5 client on your XP computer then there is driver installed in CONFIG.NT that loads with the command prompt. Try running the application or whatever without first loading BREQUEST. It should work. If not, there are other ways to make it work.

If your network has W98 computers, load BDOSSTUB instead of BREQUEST on those workstations.

Hello all,

I am not very familiar with Pervasive software, so these might seem like really basic questions, but we have a Novell 4.12 server running an old Dos application that uses Btrieve version 5 and we want to upgrade to something newer. I have a Netware 6.5 server running and I think I have correctly installed the Pervasive 9.5 for Netware package, but I cannot connect to it from a Dos prompt on a Windows XP computer. The Novell is working correctly, but if I run BREQUEST from the workstation I get:
BREQUEST-10: the function IPXInitialize returned an error.

If I try BREQTCP I get:
BREQTCP-10: The function InitSocketLibrary returned an error.

I am not tied to any OS and would be open to any and all suggestions including a complete migration to Linux.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Robert
