eperezg

I installed navision server 2.6 in windows xp (server machine).
I installed navision client 2.6 in windows xp (client machine).
I launch navision service in server machine (server.exe servername=SERVER1, database = database.fdb, nettype=tcp).
I modified hosts file in client machine (192.168.1.100 SERVER1).
if I execute navision client I not found service navision. why?

thank you.

You need to give the full path to your DB. Not a relative path.

Waldo

Did you apply the "installasservice"-parameter?

server.exe servername=SERVER1, database = database.fdb, nettype=tcp, installasservice

eperezg

i give the full path but i wrote "database=database.fdb" to sesume.
i also give installasservice but it continues without showing server (in client machine) to try open database.

Try this:
-on the server, put an entry in the services file.
-on the client, connect to the DB with this string : servername=192.168.1.100:portID.

I put an entry in the srevices file "SERVER1 3001/tcp" on the server.

what is the instruction to connect the client to the DB with the string servername=192.168.1.100:3001?.

On the cliente, i try whith "fin.exe servername=192.168.1.100:3001" but an error has happened.

Servername should be the name of your server.

When you click on File --> Database --> Open, try using the IP address of the server instead of SERVER1

What is the errormessage?

Something to try : open the client on the server itself with these parameters to check if it works from there. If it works, there might be a problem with the network.
Try also this:servername=192.168.1.100:3001,NETTYPE=TCP

eperezg

I Try this:
"server servername=192.168.1.100:3001,NETTYPE=TCP,database=c:\database.fdd,installasservice".

I try open the client (navision financials) on the server machine but it don´t find the service.

the hosts file is modified.
the service file is modified.

what happend? i don´t know.

eperezg

Yes, i exeute:

"server.exe servername=192.168.1.100:3001,NETTYPE=TCP,database=c:\database.fdd,installasservice".

the message is the next:
"Database server sucessfully started.
Press [ESC] to shut down the server"

BUt i open the navision financials client on the server machine and i don´t find the database server.

Savatage

using fdd not fdb?

eperezg

excuse me, it was an error.

I used .fdb

eperezg

the error continue, i execute:

"server.exe servername=192.168.1.100:3001,NETTYPE=TCP,database=c:\database.fdb,installasservice".

the message is the next:
"Database server sucessfully started.
Press [ESC] to shut down the server"

But i open the navision financials client on the server machine and i don´t find the database server.

eperezg

How I can do this that you say to me?.
If when I try to open the database only appears "Client Only".
Another option does not appear.

How I do?

DenSter

try typing it in there instead of looking it up

eperezg

ok, thank you very very very much.
