Description: A Pervasive 3012 error occurs when Windward cannot connect to the Pervasive database. Specifically a Pervasive “engine” runs on a computer where your System Five data files are located. The two events listed below will occur that pervent Pervasive communications:
Windward System Five uses a mapped network drive connection in order to communicate data between the client and server. A share is setup on the server, usually a folder named Windward which contains System5\Data where Data is your company dataset.
In Windows the Map Network Drive function is used and a network drive is set to the drive letter W with the server path as “\\server\Windward”
The Pervasive Engine on the server needs to be running or all workstations will receive the 3012 error. The following link will demonstrate the steps to locate the Pervasive service on the server.
