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)
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 then use any DV application.
(It appears the workstation configuration tool fails to restart the database)
When the new database is switched back to the previous copy (set active database) , 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.
Hi Michael
Few years ago, I had a similar problem that was due to the date format :
Your operating system is in English (US) language.
Take care to NOT change the date / time formats and keep the original US ones.
If it can help ...

Thanks Jack,
This setup is ok.
In reply to Maarten van der Waal:
Yes, re-run proved more successful.
Pro is established by importing old fhx of physical network after re-run of workstation config.
The database requires a Windows -> services -> restart (and set to automatically).
After this the database starts on reboot... well nearly.
On bootup the normal splash screen of Duncan connecting to the database does not appear. (if I had a dollar for each time I've looked at a Duncan splash screen....)
Ongoing....
In reply to MichaelP:
HI,
have you checked the paths...?
Had similar problems with importing an old fhx were the Pro was installed on C: and E: drive...
Ended up overwriting the new proplus complete dvdata folder on D: \ E: drive with the old ones.. then I could work with them.
Propabbly there is some type .INI file were the original paths were set?

Thanks guys for the help
The paths were setup ok (@ Niklas, apols for delay getting back)
To create the Pro -> exported the network from an old copy of database and then re-impotered in to the new database.
It was necesssary to restart the DeltaV services after 'Re-run' via Win Admin tools.
After this all is well and 'running'.
