Hello,

I try to use HotCopy on a new Windows 2003 Server as it was on an old Win2K and i got this message although everything seems to be right :

Backup started at 2007/06/8 11:27:47.
You cannot open another database or create a new database because the database was opened on the server, using the program property database=<database name>.
To choose another database, you must start the server again

I use : Navision 4.03, my hotcopy.ini is this one :

[Backup files]
e:\mbs\bdd\navifresh.fdb=f:\bddback

[Options]
servername=CLOVIS
description=Clovis
osathentication=no
nettype=tcp
user=jmlessi
password=*********

I hope somebody can help me,

Regards,

Just guessing...

Servername = CLOVIS does not handle database = e:\mbs\bdd\navifresh.fdb

Can't edit my own post???

Sounds to me that hotcopy tries to make CLOVIS change database.

Yes, it does, here is a part of the register: 

Nom de la clé :          HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CLOVIS
Nom de la classe :        <Sans classe>
Heure de dernière écriture :   08/06/2007 - 11:27
Valeur 3
  Nom :            ImagePath
  Type :            REG_EXPAND_SZ
  Données :            "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Business Solutions-Navision\Database Server\SERVER.exe"
Valeur 4
  Nom :            DisplayName
  Type :            REG_SZ
  Données :            Microsoft Business Solutions-Navision Database Server CLOVIS
....
Valeur 8
  Nom :            NETTYPE

  Données :            TCP
Valeur 10
  Nom :            DATABASE
  Type :            REG_SZ
  Données :            E:\MBS\BDD\NaviFresh.FDB

it is very strange because all other operations works perfectly.

Hi lessi,

late answer, but may be it helps someone in future. 

I just had the same error after installing a new 2003 Server and copying database from old server to new server.

On the same directory on the new server a dummy database with the same name had been put two weeks before for testing. Also with installed hotcopy functions. It worked perfectly.

Now before copying the live db xxxx.fdb to the new server the test db was renamed to xxxxTest.fdb.

Servername and IP had also been changed so there were a lot of possible reasons to check.

Well, the error disappeared, when I deleted the xxxxtTest.fdb from the server. It seems that some kind of locking information was saved in that file.

I had the same situation here today and never thought of deleting the old renamed file. But after deleting it, the hotcopy started without any problem. Thanks for sharing your sollution with us, this has saved me a lot of hours work!!!!
