Unable to run DB Maint utils (Win2000) 2

[AndyLawson]

Hi all,

I have some corruption in my AS DB - or I suspect so, anyway. I am unable to run the DB maintenance utils with the default server;username;password combination, ie.
dbcheck -a astpsdat -L arcserve;admin;secret
I get a -2005, unable to authenticate error.

This is BrightStor AS 9 on Win2k, and the only dbcheck documentation I can find is for ARCserve 7 with VLDB.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Okay - found the updated stuff for BrightStor. They changed the username. Great.

Now it's giving me 'Failed to open database: error 10' instead.

Close the Manager and try it again. See faq478-3982 for a list of the errors I have found so far.

Hi Andy,

I've got the same problem. Can you let me know the new user name?

Cheers

In ARCserve 2000 you use :

dbcheck -a astpsdat -L arcserve;admin;secret

In ARCserve v9 you use :

dbcheck -a astpsdat -L casdb;admin;secret

Hi Cyklops,

Thanks for the quick reply. Still get the -2005 error message with the casdb;admin;secret... BTW, Arcserve v9 insisted that the db filename be last on the line.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Cheers

Late news! I found some useful tip in the Arcserve forum. Deleted a couple of environment variables and the dbcheck utility runs fine. (Tip: search the whole forum for
'-2005'...diabolo666 has the key).

drchris, could you please post the ENV Variables and procedure to get this utility to run?

Nevermind, drchris.

Just delete the two User Variabls CATPATH and CONNPATH and it works. I make a copy of what they were so I can put them back in after running the checks.
