Index File > 1 GB under NetExpress 3.0.14

I use NetExpress 3.0.14 Runtime on a Windows 2003 Server. I can write Index-Files only till 1 GB. After Data are going to loose. Their ir NO Error.

 

#NetExpress3.0.14
#Indexfilebiggerthan1GB

Of course you can, it could be greater than that. Just set your external file handler (extfh.cfg) configurations as follows;

[XFH-DEFAULT]
IDXFORMAT=8
FILEMAXSIZE=8
FILEPOINTERSIZE=8
FASTREAD=ON

I didn't have this, so I create the file and set ENV: set EXTFH=....\\extfh.cfg.
1. How can I found out, that this is loaded?
2. Do I have to do more, because my MF-File are on a Network-Share (z:\\fd\\clients)

3. Does this changes works directly to existing files or do I have to create them new with the options
4. How can I found out, that the isam-file is using this directive?
5. Do I have to set BASENAME=ON, because I try to open files in the directory where I am (cd .....)

What is it you need help with? The answers to your previous questions?

1. Does this changes works directly to existing files or do I have to create them new with the options
You cannot change the format of an existing file you will have to create them as new using the IDXFORMAT"8" option or use the rebuild utility to convert the files to IDXFORMAT"8".

2. How can I found out, that the isam-file is using this directive?

You can use rebuild with the /f option on the file to find out the format. An easy way to tell is that IDXFORMAT"8" files only have one file whereas the earlier indexed formats have 2 files with one having the .idx extension.

3. Do I have to set BASENAME=ON, because I try to open files in the directory where I am (cd .....)

BASENAME is only a configuration option which applies to the filename used within the tags in the config file itself and has nothing to do with the filename on disk. If BASENAME=ON is set then you can specify the filename in the config file without the full path name otherwise you need to include the full pathname.
