Can't see CDCollector database in EDB Manager |
Mon, Sep 28 2009 5:38 AM | Permanent Link |
Peter | Hello
I have compiled the example app in D7, but the CDCollector database isn't visible. I have restarted EDB Manager often, refreshed, but it is still incognito. I'm using EDB 2.03 Build 1. I copied the Data Module to another test app, ran it, and while the cfg is where it should be, and the new empty tables are in the sub-directory, how can I inform the EDB Mgr to open\read\use the cfg file? Any tips on where I am going wrong would be a great help. Regards & TIA Peter |

You have to create either a session and a database or use the default session and set up a database under it. In both cases the database needs to point to wherever the .EDBCat files are for the app. Roy Lambert [Team Elevate] |

"Daniel Kram" | In EDManager
1) Create New Session 2) Type name 3) Select Local at bottom 4) On tab "Local Configuration" point it to C:\Program Files\ElevateDB VCL Client-Server with Source\Version 2\RAD Studio (Delphi) 2007\examples\cdcollector\data 5)Login is Administrator, pass is EDBDefault 6) Click OK 7) Open DB Hope this helps. |

Then make sure that the Local Configuration/Configuration/File Folder option is set to the directory where the edbconfig.edbcfg file resides. Then click on OK and you should then see the database and tables, provided that the database was defined properly to point to the CDCollector database directory. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

Peter | Thank you, all, I now understand a lot better.
Is there a way to programmatically set the EDB Manager to point to the appropriate cfg file? I sometimes allow users to make record changes, and by having the EDB Mgr set up at the time of installation to look at my app's cfg file, that is another process that doesn't have to be explained over the phone.

<< Is there a way to programmatically set the EDB Manager to point to the appropriate cfg file? >> Sure, just install a copy of the edbmgr.ini file in the location indicated here: http://www.elevatesoft.com/edb_faqt_9.htm You can view the settings for the manager by just editing the edbmgr.ini file in NotePad, etc. The setting that you're looking for is this one: [Session_Default] Name=Default Description=Auto-Created Default Session Type=0 Force Buffer Flush=0 Row Lock Protocol=0 Row Lock Retry Count=15 Row Lock Wait Time=100 Row Change Detection=0 Login User=Administrator Login Password=EDBDefault Progress Interval=1000 Remote Compression=0 Remote Host= Remote Address=127.0.0.1 Remote Port=12010 Remote Service= Remote Encryption=0 Remote Timeout=180 Remote Ping=1 Remote Ping Interval=60 Configuration Folder=c:\testcat <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Configuration Name=EDBConfig Large File Support=1 Maximum Log File Size=1048576 Log Information Events=1 Log Warning Events=0 Log Error Events=1 Catalog Name=EDBDatabase Configuration File Extension=.EDBCfg Lock Files Extension=.EDBLck Log File Extension=.EDBLog Backup Files Extension=.EDBBkp Catalog Files Extension=.EDBCat Table Files Extension=.EDBTbl Table Index Files Extension=.EDBIdx Table BLOB Files Extension=.EDBBlb Remote Signature=edb_signature Remote Encryption Password=elevatesoft Update Files Extension=.EDBUpd Table Publish Files Extension=.EDBPbl Local Signature=edb_signature Local Encryption Password=elevatesoft Also, are you using the Unicode version of ElevateDB ? -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

<< No, which I should have pointed out in my enquiry. >> No problem - I just wanted to make sure that I got the directory names right for you - they're a bit different for the Unicode version. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |
