    Hi,
    
    Alpha 1000 - ruble..3.2g of digital unix.. collector only.. v3.0-7
    alpha 2100  klingon 3.2g of digital unix... advisor   v3.0-7
        
    just set this up for the first time... 
        
        
    Customer is trying to select a period of time to analyze files
    from the dxadvise gui interface on the unix box.
        
    He is able to look at klingon cpd files ok but he has 
    customize the database path for ruble cpd files to 
    local_disks/disk1/remote_psdc/ruble/db. When you fire yp dxadvise
    you can see that the path points to local_disks/disk1/remote_psdc...etc.
    
    
     However when he tries to select data for analysis for ruble this
     returns
        
        w: selection is missing for selected time period.
        
     If he copies the cpd files for ruble to the default database area
     /var/opt/PSDC/dc/db/ he is able to select the data and question and
     analyze them successfully. So we know the files are ok. He gets the
     same error if he tries to use the command line interface and
     specify the location of the database files. 
        
     I tried getting him to set the environment variable pspapath and this
     did not help either.
        
     Can anybody assist with this?
    
     Thanks Avril
