NAT-Win Bufferpool Problem

Dear Friends, :stuck_out_tongue:

have a nice day …

i have a problem on Windows-Environment ( win 2003 )

I installed Natural v6.1.1 on File-Server. And then i installed the Client with ClientSetup.exe !
And now i want to start the Natural-Bufferpool on client. But i receive allways error. :frowning:

           bpstart.cmd

SETLOCAL
SET NATBIN=K:\natural\6.1.1\bin
“%NATBIN%\NATBPSVC” INSTALL AUTOMATIC
“%NATBIN%\NATBPSVC” CREATE NATBP
“%NATBIN%\NATBPSVC” SET NATBP START=YES
“%NATBIN%\NATBPSVC” START
ENDLOCAL

            Error message :

[b]%NATBPSVC-I: Natural 6.1.1 Bufferpool Service
%NATBPSVC-E: StartService failed
%NATBPSVC-I: Error code is 3

System can not find this directory

%NATBPSVC-I: Natural 6.1.1 Bufferpool Services [/b]

(Although this directory ( K:\natural\6.1.1\bin ) is shared-directory and I have all privilliges to use K: drive )

Could you please help me ?
thanx a lot … :o

Hints :

[b]K:\ drive is " Netware DTS " and shared for us. It is FileServer for Natural.

Client is MS Win XP Version 2002

That explanation is true, but a service can be started by using the UNC path rather than a mapped network drive. For example, if K:\ maps to the \NaturalServer\Shared folder use \NaturalServer\Shared\natural\6.1.1\bin as your NATBIN value.

There may be other security issues that need to be addressed, like setting NaturalServer to be a trusted server from the clients and whether to start the service using a user account rather than the Local System Account, but it IS possible.
