Where is root_menu located?

[Deano]

Hi All,

It would appear that our installation has omitted the root_menu file.

Is this common?

Where can I find it, or how do I get hold of an instance?

thanks in advance.

I should point out that I am using 6.4.01.300 on Windows.

Another file that appears to be missing is ECS_ROOT\bin\DBUtils\dbu_menu.exe

If youre running windows machine, try to find root_menu in:

C:\Users\Public\Desktop\
but it is hidden file (I do not know the reason).
To show it, you need to create the .bat file with this content and run it:

@echo off
echo "Running root_menu ..."
echo "on windows ...."
echo "you must be joking ..."
echo "root_menu is only on unix machines"
exit 128

Very helpful, thanks:)

So in a Windows environment, how do you access the database maintenence options? I want to delete old archived networks.

How about using "ecs util" utility
For Microsoft Windows: util -U <em> -P <password> -delete -name A051029AAA_A

Try to invoke this utility with help to know, what you can do with it.
Or, you can still use my previous guide to make the root_menu appear .
