:confused:
We have a Baan IV c4 on Windows 2000 Server with Oracle database and I would like to have a new intallation on a Windows XP - Sql Server 7.0 Box.

can someone help me on the procedure. I have an idea but to be sure.


Thanks

you know, that xp is only possible for test-environment
(not supported by baan).
sql7 is also desupported , you should use sql2000.

I have heard no mention that SQL 7 is desupported. It is still supported by MS until 31-Dec-2005 (as is W2K Server), see here:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;en-gb;LifeSrvr

i meant, new installer cd's only supports sql2000.

but definitely win xp is not supported for life-systems !
(works for testing)

btw. why changing from oracle to sql-server ?

I am not changing from oracle to sql.

I install a demo baan IV version on a alraydy in use notebook installed with XP. My baan IV CD installation support only the 7.0 version of SQL Server not the 2K version. SQL Server seems to be easier to install, uninstall on a time limited baan box.

The idea is to export via sequential dumps of tables for all my companies including the 000 from the prod box, export the $BSE directory then install baan on the test box, import copy the save $BSE, import the tools tables and then the other companies tables.

Am I right ? Will it work ?

comments are wellcome !

if you know, how to setup sql-server manually
and the connenction to baan-driver.

you have to create user, role in db
+ storage, tabledef, ...

i would run basic installation from cd,
then copy $BSE/tools, dict and application
then import companys.

Thanks,

I'll give a try and let you know tomorrow.

Since i copied the $BSE to the new box, I get this error message : "fatal error : object illegal 'c:/baan/.../ottadv1100 (type erreur 2)' " when starting a tools session. But when I move the saved file wich was originaly on the new box after the basic install. it works fine.

Any Idea ?

Maybe a "patch object after error solving" will help.

2 ways,
a) i point, $BSE/lib/licence6.1 to your old server (getting licence)
b) patch object after system crash, the you will get 30 days-licence

Hello,

Hello,

"patch object after system crash" made it work properly in demo mode with all tools sessions.

Thanks to every body !
