DBISAM V2.12 in a Windows Service |
Wed, Nov 23 2011 12:49 PM | Permanent Link |
Thomas Grimm | Hello,
a customer is using an older application with V2.12. Now he wants me to make a new application. This application should read some information from a DBISAM V2.12 database, generate an email, send this email. If success, it writes some information back to the database. This application should run as a service, not application, on a Windows 2003 or 2008 machine. Since the use of V2.12 and compatibility to the old application D5 must be used. What i want to know, if there are things to have in mind to work with V2.12 and D5 in a service. Any hints for me? Thank you. |

Any hints for me? The only problem I am aware of is that some sorting changed from XP/2003 to Vista/2008. It does not affect Tables with ANSI Standard Language. With other languages running in compatability mode worked OK. Is the application servicing clients? If not why does it need to run as a service? If it a scheduled process, which needs to operate without a user logged on, I would be tempted to write it as a normal app and use the Windows Task Schedular to run it. John |

John>>> The Admin says, the machine will reboot its self under some circumstances. And after boot no user is logged in, so it would not be able to run it as an application. I don't know as much as i should (as i see here) from Windows Server configuration. But i will make him the proposal of the scheduled process. Thank you. |
