How do I configure MicroStation 5.0 for a database?
Download this FAQ: dbms50.txt There are five MicroStation environment variables to be concerned with when configuring for a database. MicroStation has provided sample database configuration files that set these environment variables to their proper values. There is one configuration file for each corresponding database server and the files are located in the \ustation\config\database product directory. The file names should be something like: • ix.cfg • oracle.cfg • ris.cfg • xbase.cfg Initially, these files are set up to configure MicroStation for the example databases delivered with MicroStation.
