<div>
You can always skip the Network test but if the OS APIs that the Pervasive client calls don't work the same under WINE as they do on WIndows, there's not a lot that can be done. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Do any of the Pervasive tools work to access the data on the I: drive? &nbsp;
</div>


<div>
Pervasive is actually trying to use the data that is on I:. &nbsp;All the data files, etc reside on I:<br />

</div>


<div>
Do any of the Pervasive tools work to access the data on the I: drive? <br />
If not, what error is returned? &nbsp;
</div>


<div>
I get the error message:<br />
<br />
SP2 error:<br />
open-file failed - abort?<br />
<br />
Looks like it cannot find or open a file.<br />
<br />
my ODBC connects just fine. &nbsp;
</div>


<div>
Which tool generated that error? &nbsp;Was there a number? &nbsp;
</div>


<div>
There wasn't an error number and I am not sure if a 'tool' generated the error. It may be generated by the program I am trying to get running. &nbsp;This machine is just a data collection machine and thus, does not need much other than the pervasive client software installed.<br />

</div>


<div>
Without knowing the underlying Btrieve error that's being returned, diagnosing is going to be very difficult. &nbsp;<br />
If you try to open an application data file (that's on drive I:) using the Pervasive Function Executor (WBEXEC32.EXE in PVSW\BIN), does it work or does it give an error? If it gives an error, what is it. &nbsp;<br />

</div>


<div>
Win I run WBEXEC32.EXE in PVSW\BIN it opens and appears to run, but I cannot do anything. &nbsp;I have to &quot;break&quot; out of it to stop it.
</div>


<div>
Did not know if there was any solution, will award points for a good try.

Hello All,<br />
<br />
I am relatively new to Linux. I am trying to get it to run a Windows app using WINE. I have wine installed. I have my network shares created and mounted. I have used WINECFG to mape I: to a network share. <br />
<br />
I have my ODBC drivers loaded and they connect to the DB successfully. The only problem is that when I actually run the windows app it states it cannot open the DB file. The windows apps expects to find the data and config files on the mapped I: drive.<br />
<br />
Do mounted shares act the same as the mapped network drives in windows? If not how do I achieve that functionality. When I try to install Pervasive and it wants to test the network connection, it states the mapped I: drive is a local drive and not a network drive; normally under Windows it is looked at as a NETWORKED drive. I would like to get this working because the alternative, VMWARE defeats the purpose of my goal of moving away from WINDOWS.

UBUNTU, PERVASIVE  Database and WINE

Databases are organized collections of data, most commonly accessed through management systems including schemas, tables, queries and processes that allow users to enter and manipulate the information or utilize it in other fashions, such as with web applications or for reporting purposes.

Databases

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
