Goldmine install

[ddeegan]

Hello

I am trying to set up another Goldmine(5.5 SQL) install with the SQL data on the same server as my existing SQL data.

I am going to have a seperate exe and I want seperate calendar/gmbase files.

I cannot disturb my existing database.

Through enterprise manager, I recreated my GMBASE tables in SQL using generated scripts. The table structure and indexes look fine, Goldmine created the contact sets.

When I point my gmbase files to the new sql database in the GM.INI, open the exe, the splash screen opens Contact1 to Conthist, etxc, then immediately closes.

If I point the GMBase back to their original location, the exe runs fine.

In the Create Goldmine Database section, I see "Host Goldmine files to another server", I can't find what this will do. I don't fully understand it so I dont want to try it. Is this what I need. Like I said, I cannot disturb my existing database.

If any more details are needed, let me know. I need to solve this fast so help is very appreciated.

Thanks
Dave

Hello again

Nevermind, I found it.

"Host Goldmine files to another server" was what I was looking for. Now I have 2 exes pointing to the same server without sharing any data files, which is what I wanted.

I was trying to do the same thing in Enterprise Manager.

I was trying to do something that Goldmine already did. I'm so ashamed.

Thanks
Dave
