I'm having probelms with an NT Service (v1.1) that is apparently running fine (record locking ok), yet when I open a file and check the file handle there is no FFFFFF.

I've entered ServerOnly=TRUE in the Revparam file, yet no joy (I was hoping for at least an error message).

This is using OpenInsight and NPP 1.5 (should this be 1.1?). This was working file with ARev but OI seems to ignore it.

Cheers Chris

Chris,

What version of the NT Service are you using? The version of the NT Service and NPP should be the same. Did you upgrade from 1.1 to 1.5? If your version of NPP is 1.5, but the NT Service is 1.1, then you may want to reinstall the NT Service so they are both version 1.5.

The check for the FFFFFF with the NT Service is not applicable. Also, your revparam file (serveronly= true) is OK.

However, you need to make sure both Arev and OpenInsight use the internal driver (All-Networks-Driver) of NPP (version 1.5). Otherwise, everything sounds fine based on what you revealed.

I will keep an eye out on this posting.

Hi Mei

The NT Service is at 1.1, but I was using the NPP v1.5 (from OI 3.7). Will this cause any problems?

How do you check that the NT Service is running correctly?

Hi Chris

Even though everything is running fine now, for the long-term benefit, it is recommended that NT Service and NPP should be the same version. You will be better off by just upgrading the NT Service to version 1.5. For more information about the NT Service, please read

this.

If the Services on the NT Server show: Linear Hash automatic and started, revparam set to serveronly=true (or 1), internal network driver (All Network Driver) is used by Arev and OpenInsight, and everyone can get into the application, then the NT Service is running fine.

Regards,

Mei
