Re: VisualDCT doesnt load .dbd or .db files

Hello Marco, 

Try adding the path to your dbd file in your db file. The link below offers an example under section 6.2. 
 
https://epics-extensions.github.io/VisualDCT/doc/MAN-VisualDCT_Users_Manual.html#parser

Something like this: 

#! DBDSTART
#! DBD("'mvc3Include.dbd")
#! DBDEND

Subject: [EXTERNAL] VisualDCT doesnt load .dbd or .db files

 

Hello, EPICS community. 

I have downloaded the latest release of VisualDCT via the github link (https://github.com/epics-extensions/VisualDCT/releases) to edit database files via the interface. When i try to execute the .jar file, a browsing window shows up to let me select a .db or .dbd file but after i select it the window closes and nothing happens. If i try to execute the program via the command java -jar VisualDCT.jar dbdfile.dbd dbfile.db (the files are in the same directory of the terminal) it generates the following message:

Loading VisualDCT v2.8.2...

Directive to load DBD: 'mvc3Include.dbd'.

Directive to load DB: 'mvc3_channel.db'.

No DBD loaded! Exiting...

I suspect its something  with my java configurations but im not sure. Does anyone knows if i am doing something wrong? Thanks in advance.
Obs: i am operating it in a ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
