3991.0. "Help needed with datatrieve/export" by PLUNDR::LOWEG (Don't believe a word) Thu Oct 29 1992 05:52

    
    
    Anybody know what this error message means when trying to define a
    database in datatrieve..
    
    DTR> define database mcc_export on DISK1:[LOWEG]mcc.rdb
    A DATATRIEVE DATABASE cannot be stored in a CDO directory.
    
    I have created a CDD$TOP.gary
    and $ DEFINE CDD$DEFAULT CDD$TOP.gary
    
    I also have the exporter background process running in batch and I
    have managed to export before..
    
    Basically I am following the manual Performance Analyzer Function
    Module Use and Exhibit 7-2 on page 7-5 word for word and getting the
    above error message..
    
    Any help welcome, plus if anybody knows which documentation is best
    for export historical data into an RDB I would appreciate a pointer.

Well, if you are following PA documentation exactly and it doesn't work,
it would be appropriate to file a QAR to get the document fixed (see note 7).

However, you may get a faster answer if you also inquire in a conference
which deals with Datatrieve, since there are likely more experts there.
I see a listing for IAMOK::DTRDIG, for example.
