thanks for taking the time to read this.

i have an error you my be familar with:

Select Environment
1) Operational Environment (company 100)
2) Test Environment (company 200)
3) unix shell
Your choice : 1
Connecting with bshell...
Connection established.
ba6.1: Shared memory not linked in link_shm()
Error [main ]: Can't connect to bshell
$

My question is how do i fix the problem?
unix is not my strong suit so please be very basic.

can i simply clear and rebuild the shared memory without loosing and valuable data?

if so how is this done

thanks,
Matt

Suppose you are the Baan admin (else ask him): Probably your system has been rebooted or so and the Baan stuff hasn/t been started yet. This can be checked by:

$ ps -ef |grep shmtimer| grep -v grep
$ ps -ef |grep licd|grep -v grep

If both commands don't show output you neet to start Baan:

$ cd $BSE/etc
$ ./rc.start

Now it should work. As this knowledge is so basic and you will need much more of these things I strongly recommend to follow a Baan Admin course.

Kind regards,
Dick

thanks for your help

can you recomend any books for baan commands?

thanks again!
