Navision Version 3.56.A

Try to rename database part 10, 11 and 12 to a, b, c - in that way you reduce the size to 3 instead of 6 characters

Your maximum database size will be 32 GB i 16 database parts due to the design for 16 bit operation system

regards

if you reduce with 3 characters, you should be able to add 3 more partitions.

ex: 10, 11, and 12 converts to a,b,c,d,e and g

if you continue with the nameing 1-9 for the first nine parts, you should have used a total of 15 characters, leaving one more free

Hello everyone.
My database consists 12 parts, where 1 part = 2 Gb.
So there is not enough free space.
And I want to expand my database.
I have a problem with the database service name.
Now it is next:
servern database=d:\1+d:\2+d:\3+d:\4+d:\5+d:\6+d:\7+d:\8+d:\9+d:\10+d:\11+d:\12
Name = 62K
So if I add one more part the name will be 68K
In this case Navision error accure that the name have to be less then 64K.
That all.

Thank you!!!!

WOW the best and most reliable version of Navision is still around \:D/

What you can try is this: (depending on which OS you have the server on).

Copy the NAVI2.exe and client files onto the server, in the drive where you have the database.

Then change directory to the \

Run NAVI2 and use the parameter
database=1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12

since you are in the current directory you don't need the drive / directory spec.

Now when you start the server, just point to \1 and the server will find the rest of the parts.

by the way this technique works even if you have the DB on multiple drives, you just have to do the process 12 times.

BY the way, what kind of a drive is , I am guessing some large RAID 10, but either way, isn't it slow with 26Gig? wouldn't it be better to split over a number of RAID 1 s?

PS I think this is posted to the wrong forum.

It's not enough to change the drive, you also need to change the subdirectoy with cd. So Navision will call the database in the choosen DIR.
