Hi there,

I have to restart an aborted bdbreconfig run on windows. How do I do this? "bdbreconfig -N tcibd001100+" on the command line gives me an "Failed to initialize bdb api" error. Do I have to set some environment variables (bse, user...)?

Help please!!!

Uli

Hi Uli,

are you doing this through RDP ? Maybe you have to log on locally on the server or through VNC.

On windows make sure you navigate to the $BSE/bin directory and run the following:

fillenv (This will set the baan environment varirables)
set USER=baan (sets the current user as baan)

Is there a specific reason to do it through command line? If it doesnt matter, then you can try through the front end session itself

I think to do the recover option you have to do it via CL...

Thanks for your help folks, eventually the reason was that I was not logged in with my Server-local user, but with my domain user. It might be that jaotto's tip would have helped in that case, but I did not try it out yet.

And yes, for recorvering an aborted bdbreconfig run, you have to use the command line, unfortunately.

Dear Gurus,

How to run in command line? My apology if this is a basic question.

I am facing the same issue posted above.

Thanks.

Realize this thread is three years old, but I had the same issue. Posting so when I have the issue again in 3 years I will know the answer :)

There is no fillenv binary or script on windows app server bse.

You need to set the environment variables for:

USER
BSE

for this to work properly.
