Old Delphi apps with DBE raises errors on heterogeneous Windows nets, when server runs on W10 with 1803 upgrade
Old Delphi apps with DBE raises errors on heterogeneous Windows nets, when server runs on W10 with 1803 upgrade
With the lastest Windows 10 1803 Spring Creators upgrade, the old apps running with old BDE over a net with differents Windows versions, are crashing and returning the error "No more files".
This is due the changes intoduced in the last W10 upgrade (1803), deactivating samba old versions (1.0), deleting the group "Homegroup", and changing some sharing policies.
There are some solutions:
- Move apps to non-bde databases.... Well let's talk of other things...
- Upgrade all windows 10 to 1803 (faster, easier and cheaper)
- Activate Samba 1.0 compatibility and put the executable and shared data in separate directories (in server side)
trying more solutions...

Rik van Kekem Seems to be Windows Defender related from what I gather around the internet.

Uwe Raabe Thanks Uwe, I know, but there are some old apps, that can't be replaced, redesigned and reprogrammed because a lot of reasons...Timming, cost, critical, etc... (Let's talk about very old COBOL apps, what supports lot of accounting and banking apps? )
ReplyDeleteBut is not raising this problem only with old BDE apps, this behaviour are experienced by moderns clients apps working with MSSQL, Oracle and Postgre, and I discovered googling for searching this problem.
Rik van Kekem , Thanks Rik, is the third possibility I announced. This seems to be a good solution in many cases.
ReplyDeleteAnd also, like Andreas Pfau says, defender is also involved in some strange behaviours, but is not the most important reason.
