Hi guys,
We have some troubles with Btrieve Applications running in network
configuration with several workstations and several servers. The problem
is described below.
We are pretty stuck because of this problem, so we would like to
HIRE A BTRIEVE GURU.
To get more information, please contact me [Pierre,
phone: (604) 731-0831, fax: (604) 736-6431].
===========================================================================
The network configuration we have is pretty complex; several
workstations running Btrieve-client Applications and two Btrieve
Servers. Between the servers we have a high-speed communication
link (T1).
We use Btrieve 5.1 files format and the Btrieve NLM are the 6.1
running in the Pre-6.X mode on Netware 3.11 server.
The "graphic" below should help to make it easier to understand.

Each Workstation Application access Btrieve files on the Server 1
***_AND_*** Server 2.
The problems we got don't appear all time, and we have some trouble
to try to reproduce them.
Our biggest trouble has this configuration:
Running a Btrieve application with nobody on the network, everything
goes fine. (In fact everything goes fine if the system doesn't have
the T1 link). One other person is logged on somewhere on the network
and we have some weird Btrieve error like "Key value not found",
"File Position incorrect", "End of File" .... We found out that the
Position Block seems to be corrupted if somebody else is on the network.
============================================================================
Thanks for your help.
Pierre

[stuff deleted] Could it be that each server has its own btrieve transaction file, and that they aren't in sync?
