2178.0. "Use PWNODES.DAT instead of DECNODES.DAT?" by NLVMS3::MWILLEMS (Das ganze Leben ist ein Quiz) Wed Mar 26 1997 07:53
SQL/Services 6.1-02
Pathworks 5.0 with DECNET
Windows 95
Hello,
A customer of mine had the problem with the pathworks error #2 ENOENT
described in note 2068. He could solve it with defining the node in
DECNODES.DAT.
However he said that DIGITAL told him that the file DECNODES.DAT was no
longer provided and used by PATHWORKS, but that instead the file
PWNODES.DAT should be used.
Now the customer claims that in the SQSAPI this file DECNODES.DAT is
used and he has asked me if in the API of 7.0 this is changed to
PWNODES.DAT. I can't try this here, because we have no PATHWORKS with
DECNET on the PC.
Can anybody tell me that?
Thanks,
Marcel Willems, Oracle Rdb Support Holland

| 2178.1 | so much for being upward compatible... | M5::JBALOGH | | Wed Mar 26 1997 08:19 | 16 |
| We don't really make any reference to DECNODES or PWNODES. SQLServices
links in one of the PW/DECNET libraries and we make calls to it. The PW
library is the one looking for DECNODES/PWNODES.
Up until now, we used the PW 4.x libraries to maintain compatibility
with older PW clients. The old libraries looked for DECNODES.DAT. PW
made a incompatible change in PW 5.x and created the new PWNODES.DAT
DecNet database and is forcing vendors to drop support for old 4.x
clients.
I believe the SQLSRV 7.0 client (ODBC 2.10) is using a newer PW library
and we have had to drop support for the older PW clients. The newer
libraries should be looking for PWNODES.
