The ADABAS directory and its subdirectories are located in a write-protected area on the fileserver. Therefore no protocol files can be created there by the ADABAS tools.
The following protocol files are concerned:
TCP/IP Protocol File
Messages concerning TCP/IP communication between the ADABAS tools and the database server are usually written into a protocol file (TCPIP.PRT) which is located in the directory <DBROOT>\PROT. The user setup for client configuration changes the target directory automatically in such a way that this file will be created in the client's local or private WINDOWS directory.
If you want to use another target directory or another filename for the protocol file, you must adapt the ADABAS initialization file SQL-DB.INI in the WINDOWS directory. To do so, load the SQL-DB.INI file to the Windows editor and change the line TCPIP=<path>\<filename> in the section [Protocols]. The target directory for this protocol file must be changed in such a way that there will be no access right conflicts on the NetWare Fileserver.
Protocol Files of the Windows Clients
For the protocol files created by LOAD and QUERY, the target directories and filenames can be specified in the user-specific SET parameters (see LOAD or QUERY manual). By default, only one filename is defined so that these protocol files would be created in the current directory (usually <DBROOT>\BIN). The specifications in the SET parameters must therefore be chosen for each database user in such a way that no access right conflicts will occur on the NetWare fileserver by specifying as the target directory, e.g., a local directory on the client.
