1375.0. "OBB2.5B and Netware 4.11" by GVA05::GUY () Wed Feb 19 1997 07:30

A customer has installed Netware 4.11 on Windows 3.11.
Since OBJECTBROKER 2.5B is not working, they get the message
OBB_MSGFAIL

It seems that OBB doesn't find the WINDOWS directory.
The customer is asking how OBB finds the windows directory.

Thanks for help


Jean-Paul.

1375.1	OBB 2.5B and Netware compatibility	GVA05::GUY		`Wed Feb 19 1997 12:43`	4
	Actually they move from Netware 3.11 to Netware 4.11 They need to know which kind of functions OBB uses to find Windows directory. Jean-Paul.

	I am not sure if the V4.11 is supported by ObjectBroker V2.5b. Subj: ObjectBroker for Microsoft Windows 2.5 spd (2.5B) o One of the following communications protocol interfaces: - PATHWORKS V5.0A/V5.1 for DOS and Windows (if using DECnet or TCP/IP) - PATHWORKS for DOS/TCP V2.0 - Novell LAN Workplace for DOS V4.0 (if using Novell's TCP /IP)
1375.3	Netware4.11 not supported ?	GVA05::GUY		`Thu Feb 20 1997 06:46`	18
	>> I am not sure if the V4.11 is supported by ObjectBroker V2.5b. This is a big issue for our customer, they have started to deploy Netware 4.11 on a lot of PC's currently running Windows 3.11. They will in a second step migrate their PC to WINDOWS NT. They claim they had to install NETWARE 4.11 in order to be able to have NT Clients. This is really a big customer for DIGITAL, what can we do to help them. Thanks for help Jean-Paul.

	Please set the OBB_TRACE_FLAGS environment variable before getting into windows SET OBB_TRACE_FLAGS=AF SET OBB_TRACE=obb.log Then run the application and get the log. Then post the log here.
1375.5	Enable tracing on Windows 3.11	GVA05::GUY		`Thu Feb 20 1997 12:16`	15
	>> Please set the OBB_TRACE_FLAGS environment variable before getting >> into windows >> SET OBB_TRACE_FLAGS=AF >> SET OBB_TRACE=obb.log >> Then run the application and get the log. Then post the log here. How do we set this environment variable under WINDOWS 3.11, I thought we needed the Context Editor to enable OBB tracing. Jean-Paul.
1375.6		REQUE::BOWER	Peter Bower, ObjectBroker	`Thu Feb 20 1997 12:39`	5
	You can either use the context editor and set the OBB_TRACE_FLAGS and OBB_TRACE properties in the default table or you can set them at the dos level before you start windows.
1375.7	Copying OBB init file.	GVA05::GUY		`Fri Feb 21 1997 11:19`	6
	Customer didn't had chance to enable OBB tracing, but they found a workaround to the problem by moving the settings done in OBB.INI file to a global INI file Jean-Paul.
1375.8	Novell TCP only on Windows 3.1	SEND::SLAVIN		`Wed Mar 12 1997 13:30`	13

I may not be reading this right, but it sounds like they want to use Novell TCP on ObjectBroker NT systems. This is not supported for any version of ObjectBroker. ONLY Windows 3.1 systems support Novell TCP.
