Progress dbtool errors

Question

I am trying to run the Progress dbtool on our database but it is not working. I get to the proenv prompt as suggested by the documentation that I have. When I execute the dbtool against our database "access" (that's the name of our progress database)

Here are my steps:

[root@server ~]# cd /usr/dlc10.2B/bin
[root@server bin]# ./proenv

      DLC: /usr/dlc10.2B
   WRKDIR: /usr/wrk
      OEM: /usr/oemgmt
OEMWRKDIR: /usr/wrk_oemgmt

Inserting /usr/dlc10.2B/bin to beginning of path and
setting the current directory to /usr/wrk.

What shell are you using?

Have you edited proenv?

proenv is a shell script. The errors that you report are simple shell variable assignments failing -- as if you are executing proenv with something other than "sh". The first few lines of proenv should be:

#!/bin/sh
# proenv

    DLC="/usr/dlc"
    WRKDIR="/usr/wrk"
    OEM="/usr/oemgmt"
    OEMWRKDIR="/usr/wrk_oemgmt"
    PATH=$DLC/bin:$DLC/perl/bin:$PATH
    PS1="proenv>"
   export DLC WRKDIR PATH PS1 OEM OEMWRKDIR OEE OEEWRKDIR

   #cd to the work directory
   cd $WRKDIR

For that to fail you are either running a broken shell or someone has messed with the script.

By the way -- you should not need to be root to run dbtool. And you do not need to have your current directory in /usr/dlc10.2B/bin when you run proenv.

Actually dbtool should run just fine from a plain old command prompt so long as DLC is defined and $DLC/bin is in your PATH.
