[6.1] Test Database - User Startup

Todd,
Make sure you have the port entered in the Services file in
Windows. Path: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\Services"
Example: epic52 5200/tcp #Vantage
epic52sbx 5220/tcp #Vantage SandBox - Offline database
epic52trn 5210/tcp #Vantage Training database

I setup a test database on a new USB drive I added to our Vantage server. So far I've been able to slog through all sorts of issues (ports, db name, etc...) and have the DB running. I copied the Test.mfg file from the the support answerbook article and made the necessary drive letter changes. But when I try to run it it just displays the splash screen then goes away. If I look at a copy of the mfgtest61.lg it shows I logged in then right out - as if the login screen never displayed and then timed out.

The Test.mfg file looks like:
---------------------------------------------
[mfgsys Startup]
Executable=V:\progress\bin\prowin32.exe
Database= H:\mfgtest61
IniFile=M:\mfgsys61\mfgsys.ini
ParameterFile=M:\mfgsys61\db\mfgsys.pf
ConnectOptions=-N TCP -H vader -S 6120
TempDirectory=C:\mfgwk61
StartupProcedure=mainmenu.w
OtherParameters=-rand 2 -q -basekey ini
------------------------------------------------
where V: is the drive letter for Progress
M: is the drive letter for \Epicor to get at mfgsys61
and H: is the new mapped drive letter pointing to the test database location (M: = \\vader\vantagetest\)
6120 is the port number for the new database.

Anyone see antything obvious in the above or know of a reason for it not coming up with a login screen?

Another bit of info about my earlier inquiry....
The test.mfg routine activates the mfgsplash-gs.gif splash screen. My "normal" Vantage.mfg brings up our customized vnsplash.gif splash screen. Where is it set as to which splash image gets used? I have searched for all files in the Epicor folder containing mfgsplash-gs.gif as text and found only mfg.exe and an install log file. If I could find out why it uses a different image it might be an important clue.

Also, if I run task manager while firing up the test version no progress related processes start up. No task either. Just a splash screen.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
-Todd C.

Todd,

Not sure if this will make a difference but my .mfg file on the database
line includes the full path to the database.



Database=V:\mfgsys61\db\MFGSYS
