Re: [foxboro] configuring AIM* to get data from external fdb data base file

Hi Daniele,
The fdb files are always time stamped with the time of the last data
inserted, usually the time of the file closure. By examining the list of
files (sorted by time) you can identify the file(s) that contain the time
slice that you are interested in.

Concerning the access rights from a remote computer you need not only
"share" permissions but also NTFS rights.

The easiest way to make sure that you get all the rights is to create a new
subdirectory within your drive D: (example D:\MY_NEW_DIR) on the remote W2K
computer, and move the remote instance folder to it (so you have
D:\MY_NEW_DIR\MY_INSTANCE_NAME). After that, on the W2K computer, right
click in Explorer the MY_NEW_DIR folder and on the Security TAB give the
local user Fox access with "Modify" rights and then apply the changes to the
folder, all subfolders and files.

database file

Dear Alex,

Thank you for your suggestion,

I verified the read only tag on the backup files, there were some in read
only mode. I put them in R/W mode.

After doing this check I got the same errors.

Then I put in shared mode the partition (D:) of the backup PC where are
stored the fdb files.

I ensured I could access, read and modify the files from the AW70.

In this way I should not get access rights/security problems.

After modifying the DBPATH parameter as DBPATH=d:\opt\aim\inst;\\backup\d I
am still getting the same error for each file:

 Historian hist01 Createfile r9087.fdb errno=1326 logon failure unknown user
name or bad password



I have tried also what you said me, to put some files in a local folder and
modify the DBPATH according to it. This seems to work but I do not have
enough free space in the local hard disk to put there all backup files. Is
there a way to see what is the content of each fdb file in order to put in
the local folder only the files I need?



Thank you very much



Daniele
