Status: Verified
SYMPTOM(s):
Dbman does not work at all.
Dbman -help will not work.
Error attempting to start a database with the DBMAN utility.
ERROR: Must specify an operation to perform (-start, -stop, or -query) (DBMan009)
Unknown or invalid option: "-{0}" (DBMan030)
PATH=C:\WINNT\system32;c:\WINNT;d:\PROGRESS\;d:\PROGRESS\\BIN
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows NT 4.0
Progress 9.1D
Databases can be started and stopped using progress explorer.
Running dbman in the environment set from proenv works.
CHANGE:
Used InstallShield to set the DLC environment.
CAUSE:
Selecting the folder option when extracting information from the registry adds an extra \ at the end of the install directory, i.e. (d:\progress\)
FIX:
Configure the InstallShield to extract environment information from the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PSC\PROGRESS\9.1D\startup\
The options presented are:
File
Folder
Txt
Select Txt.
That will set it correctly, i.e. (d:\PROGRESS)
