Configuring the Win32 Requester

The Win32 Requester serves as the Pervasive.SQL client for Windows 9X/ME and Windows NT/2000 workstations. You configure the Win32 Requester using the Configuration Utility within the Pervasive Control Center.

   To Configure the Win32 Requester

1. Click Start, point to Programs and select Pervasive.SQL V8.
2. Select Control Center.
3. Click Pervasive.SQL Engines and select the local machine.
4. Select Configuration and then Client.
5. Refer to the Advanced Operations Guide in section Configuration Reference for detailed information on the Configuration utility and settings.

Win32 Configuration Notes

WOW Application Users: The Win16 Requester provides thunking over to the Win32 Requester, which then handles your request as it does one from a Win32 application. To use these thunking capabilities, be sure to use the requesters included with the Pervasive.SQL package, and not those from an earlier version of Btrieve.

Configuring the Win16 Requester

The Win16 Requester is used in conjunction with Thunking in Windows 9X and Windows NT workstations.

---

Note
Clients using the 16-bit requesters will have only transactional access to the data files. No relational access will be available.

---

   To Configure the Win16 Requester from Windows 9X/ME/NT/2000/XP:

1. Click Start, point to Programs, then Pervasive.SQL V8, and select Control Center.
2. Expand Pervasive.SQL Engines and expand the desired server.
3. Expand Configuration and expand Client-16 bit.
4. Refer to the Advanced Operations Guide in section Configuration Reference for detailed information on the Configuration utility and settings.

Win16 Configuration Notes

To access a Windows NT server, your workstation must have the Microsoft Network Client for DOS and Windows loaded. You also need the NetWare SPX protocol stack. Pervasive Software recommends using the ODI drivers from Novell. You do not need to run NETX.EXE or be logged in to a NetWare server.

WOW Application Users: You must install both the Win16 Requester and the Win32 Requester. The Win16 Requester provides thunking over to the Win32 Requester, which then handles your request as it does one from a Win32 application. To use these thunking capabilities, be sure to use the requesters included with this package, and not those from an earlier version of Btrieve. Also, be sure to enable the Requester's Use Thunk option.
