Reading SQL/Server Tables from APPX/Unix

In order to access data stored under SQL Server under Windows while running APPX/Unix:

The configuration tasks are:

1. Install APPX on the NT box.

2. Copy from Unix to NT the Data Dictionary Design Files for the files you wish to store in SQL Server.

3. Set up the SQL Server based files in APPX on the NT box.

   ( This document explains how to configure APPX/NT to access SQL Server data).

4. Test the above and make sure it works on the NT box. (I.E., can you run a simple OUTPUT against the file and see the data?).

   If this does not work, open a DOS box on the NT server, set APPX_SQL_CMD=c:\sqlcmd.txt and APPX_DBG_CODE=0xFFFFFFFF,
   and invoke APPX directly (not with -c) from the console. Send us the resulting c:\sqlcmd.txt log.
