Status 94 accessing a Pervasive.SQL Server across a WAN

by  TomKane  Posted    (Edited  )
From the Pervasive site

Problem Description:
Status 94 accessing a Pervasive.SQL Server across a WAN

Problem Environment:
Pervasive.SQL v7 Windows NT

Microsoft Windows 9.x

The remote site was able to create, delete, and modify files via the Operating System

Function Executor returns Status 94 (even with a non-existent file) on an Open operation

InstallScout failed Read and Write tests

Cause of this problem:
Since the workstation requester is responsible for routing the request, it was probably building the request (with the UNC pathname) and passing it to the wrong server (if the WINS database provided an incorrect name resolution), which resulted in the Status 94

Solution:
Forcing the synchronization of the WINS database fixed the problem. (Workaround use IP address in the mapping rather than server name)

NOTE: Since the workstation requester is responsible for routing the request, it was probably building the request (with the UNC pathname) and passing it to the wrong server (if the WINS database provided an incorrect name resolution), which resulted in the Status 94
