Control.com - Nerds in Control

Hi.

We moved(converted) FactoryLink 6.6 (WinNT) application to FactoryLink 7.5 (WinXp).
We can't run syb_hist.exe (no errors, no messages).Sybase client ASE 12.5 installed on PC.
All tables in FLCM is reading well.

Help, pls.
Anybody use FactoryLink 7.5 (WinXP+SP2) and Sybase DB(ASE 12.5)?

Hi Alexander,

The source of your problem can be several so, I'd do the following to isolate the problem:

1) Put the '-L' argument to Database Logger and Sybase Historian tasks (in System Configuration Information panel) to generate a LOG file from those tasks and have better and more info about the problem.

2) Use the ODBC historian task instead of Sybase historian to test or discard a problem from FactoryLink side (if both historians tasks have problem, the problem could be an incorrect setting to connect to your Sybase DB).

3) Create and use an ODBC connection from your WXP and test it in Excel (via Data/Import External Data/New Database Query) to retrieve data from your Sybase DB to your worksheet. With it, you'll have a secondary tool to verify if everything from Sybase side is right (user permissions, network connections, etc).

Let me know what you get to keep on helping you.

Best regards.

Saludos.
