Corrupt engine

The Pervasive Server or Workgroup Engine is corrupt. If this affects all workstations, the engine on the server can be corrupt. When it only affects one workstation, the workstation engine can be corrupt.

1. Verify the Pervasive database engine can communicate across the network. If it can't, continue to the next step.
2. Uninstall the engine.
3. Reinstall the engine.

Using a Full DNS name

Your workstation or terminal server uses the Full DNS Name.

1. Open the Windows Registry.
2. Browse to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Timberline\General key.
3. Under Accounting Server Name, change the Full DNS Computer Name to the DNS Computer Name. For example, change INTERNAL.SERVERNAME.NET to SERVERNAME.
4. Complete the same steps with the Application Data Directory, Documents Directory, and ServerSharedKey keys. For example, change \\INTERNAL.SERVERNAME.NET\Timberline Office\9.5 to \\SERVERNAME\Timberline Office\9.5.
5. Under General, look for references to the server's IP Address. If you see references, replace them with the Server's Device Name.
