Status: Verified
FACT(s) (Environment):
MERANT 3.50 32-BIT Progress SQL-89
MERANT 3.60 32-BIT Progress SQL-89
MERANT 3.70 32-BIT Progress SQL-89
MERANT 4.0 32-BIT Progress SQL-89
SYMPTOM(s):
Error attempting to connect to a Progress database via Merant (DataDirect) ODBC driver.
BROKER: PROOIDRV variable does not contain Open Access Driver module. (2660)
CAUSE:
The error is in the ODBC Datasource from the Control Panel. Check the Database tab for a DIRECT connection type. One of the fields to fill in will be Database Path. This path should reflect the actual path to the database from the SERVER machine as the OIB/OID process is physically on that machine.
For example:
The Server machine is Machine A and the client is Machine B. The database is on drive E: in the \db\ directory. Machine B has a mapped drive X: to that directory on Machine A.
The value that should be entered for DATABASE PATH should be
E:\db\.
If the following is put in:
X:\db\ then this will produce the 2660 error.
FIX:
Change the path to the Database under the Database to tab to correctly specify the path of the Database on the server.
