Hotcopy password

coascender

I am trying to run hotcopy for a Navision 4.0 installation but it says the username and password are invalid. I am logging on as an administrator on a Win 2000 box with active directory and as a super user in Navision. My syntax is:

Hotcopy
source=f:\Navision\database.fdb
destination=f:\Navision
servername=kns_fs1
nettype=tcp
username=NavisionBKU
password=Navision

I created new user accounts in both Navision and on the server. I also tried using my own personal account but it did not work either.

Finally, I changed the Navision service login to the NavisionBKU account but it did not work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Had the same problems starting with hotcopy. Use a hotcopy.ini or ...
.
.
.
add extra "dummy" database users!


Solved my problem.

Thanks. I tried the 'dummy user' but that did not work.

Is it necessary to have a Windows user account for Hotcopy to work or is the Navision user account enough? We are using database authentication.

I have the service running under the SYSTEM account and with the settings from the hotcopy.ini, hotcopy.exe logs in as a simple database user.

Kicking a very old topic, but the line should not read username=<something>, but user=<something>
