DataBase errors

Running the same program/parts on various CMMs (not at the same time) and on one CMM I have no issues, but the other two that run this job give me a "DataBase Error" message but will update the stats after OK'ing the error. Same program, same stat file, and the database is on the network and all CMMs have read/write access to all files in the folder.

I tried deleting and creating a new database file on another CMM/PC and it still gives me the error on just the two CMMs that were doing it before.

Any ideas?
  • 1) if there is any error the XSTATS11.TMP file is not deleted so the user can correct the error and update the data.
    2) all the paths to the database MUST be the same if you are sharing the database.
  • I did some searching in the PC-DMIS software side and found this (thanks to Craig) and tried it. Everything works OK now.

    V1 =FILE/EXISTS,C:\PCDMISW\XSTATS11.TMP
                IF/V1== 1
                FILE/DELETE,C:\PCDMISW\XSTATS11.TMP
                END_IF/

    If some one is accessing the DataBase files while the Demon is attempting to update it a XSTATSII.tmp file will be created containing the data from the PCDMISW program. This file will be used to update the DataBase next time the program is run.

    If your company has offline seats this may be your problem. If not "you" or the IT Dept. will have to correct the conflict or delete the XSTATSII.tmp file in the PCDMISW installation folder and all >dbl and .taf files in the DataBase folder, note that you WILL loose all the data contained in these files.
