Workstation configuration tool fails to restart a new DV database, Sim system.

Sim system, workstation configuration tool fails to restart a new DV database

 

Hi there,

We have a standalone sim / development system we are trying to make equal to the site system.

The development system consists, Sim platform, two XP machines (Pro & eng station), DV 10.3, controllers.

The process followed and the failure is below (takes place on the development system)

  1. Create new database
  2. Set new database as the active database
  3. Shutdown database
  4. Run workstation configuration (Proplus selected)  +++ failure happens here +++
  5. Import new database fhx via explorer (copy of live system fhx)

During point 4)  workstation configuration application generates a Db error.

‘an error occurred while adding/configuring this workstation to the deltav database. Failed to open a database. Error code:c0043caa’

From this step on no other DV application will start (e.g. explorer, control studio, DB admin).

It is necessary to restart the DV service using windows admin tools to use any DV application.

When the database is switched back to the old copy, it is no longer possible to successfully download the Pro, as DeltaV reports a workstation configuration must be first run.

How to successfully establish the Pro & one eng station in the new database?  ...When workstation configuration fails.
