Fame server database

Postby brasch » Fri Dec 09, 2011 6:35 am

Hi

I am trying to open a FAME database, but i am not sure how to enter the server specification.

i know that in some way the words "frdb_m" and "kvbi-ovibos" should be connected, but i do not know the proper syntax.

"unable to find Fame directory" is the error messasge i receive.

Can anyone please help me with getting the syntax right ?

Sincerely
Thomas von Brasch

It looks like you may be missing an extra parameter. I am guessing 'frdb_m' is the database name and 'kvbi-ovibos' is your server name, but I may have them reversed. In either case you are missing the port number. The typical command to open a Fame server database is similiar to

Code: Select all

dbopen(t=f, s=port_number@server_name) database_name
