Database Size Reducer .bat File Generates an Execution Error

Postby eegroup » 14 Jan 2017

When running the gbak_x64.bat file for MultiCharts 9.1 and Higher, from the current link contained in the Online Help File (https://www.multicharts.com/trading-sof ... abase_Size), it generates an error:

'gbak' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Please advise what changes are necessary to be made to the the gbak_x64.bat file to allow it to execute correctly, or please post a new revised gbak_x64.bat file available for download in the Online Help File.

Thank you!

The process worked flawless here, but broke the database ... Reduced size from 8.43GB dn to 6.21GB.

Regards.

Hello eegroup,

Did you unzip the entire archive before running gbak file?

Hi Angelina,

Yes, the gbak_9.1.zip file was unzipped and the gbak_x64.bat was run from inside of the unzipped gbak_9.1 folder.

This same issue has occurred on two different systems, one running Windows 10 AE, and another one running Windows Server 2008 R2.

The issue seems to be related to the gbak execution commands, as contained in the gbak_9.1.bat file, not being able to locate the gbak.exe program in the unzipped gbak_9.1 folder.

Thanks.

eegroup,

Please make sure that you Antivirus doesn't block the gbak.exe from this folder

Are there a specific DB reducer for the 10 version? I also have problem with 9.1.
