Status: Unverified
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows
SYMPTOM(s):
ODBC Data Source connection created against Progress database.
Testing the connection for the data source fails.
[DataDirect][ODBC PROGRESS driver]Invalid attribute in connection string.
[DataDirect][ODBC PROGRESS driver][PROGRESS]Failed to create the Progress NLS handler.
Connection fails when the database is started via the Admin Server.
Connection works if database is started via proserve.
A DLC system environment variable is defined on the machine.
CHANGE:
A mapped drive to the Progress installation was created on the database server machine (for use by client PCs in performing a NetSetup).
The mapped drive was then used by the DLC variable
(example DLC=<mappedDrive>\DLC )
FIX:
When defining the DLC environment variable on the database server machine use a local drive in the pathname not a mapped drive.
(example DLC=c:\DLC).
