I keep getting pop up message saying "Connect to database" even though there is no database connected to it.
I tried all the options like disconnect , detach database linkage etc. nothing works. Please help. Thanks
There's a Wiki for that:https://communities.bentley.com/products/geospatial/desktop/w/geospatial_desktop__wiki/47359/--disable-connect-to-database-dialog
Set this variable, exit, and reinitialize:MS_GEOXFM_DISALLOW_INFERRED_DBCONNECTION = 1
Let us know if that works.
Thank you Dan Weston. It worked. Nice.
My follow up question is, when there are no linkages or connection to database is established , why this message pops up?
In future if I have to connect to a database, looks like I need to set this value to none again? Thank you.
I'm not sure why the dialog is displayed when there are no linkages. It could be that the database server is turned on in a Seed file that each new file is created with? or it could be that the Development team left the database server on by default in the Map executable? I will ask and see if I can find the answer.
Some MicroStation database key-ins include: db=?, db=" " (space), "db=username/password@server". See the MicroStation Help file for complete details.
Interacting with spatial databases is best accomplished using the Geospatial Database Interoperability, or GDI key-ins. The Map Help file has the complete list.
You will have to disable or delete the variable if you connect to a database in the future.
