Command to retrieve the database version and the database block size of the specified EDMdatabase. The specified EDMdatabase may be open or closed. The main purpose of this operation is to be able to retrieve these two values from EDMdatabases that cannot be opened by the calling application due to incompatible block size and/or incompatible database version in the running EDMserver/EDMinterface and the specified EDMdatabase.
If the EDMdatabase cannot be opened due to incompatible block size, then the block size of the running EDMserver/EDMinterface must be set equal to the block size in the actual EDMdatabase before the specified EDMdatabase can be opened by the running EDMserver/EDMinterface.
If the EDMdatabase cannot be opened due to incompatible database versions, the actual EDMdatabase must be dumped by an EDMserver/EDMinterface that supports the actual EDMdatabase version, and then restored by the actual running EDMserver/EDMinterface. For details, see the EDMsupervisor commands Database>Dump and Database>Restore
Arguments:

Directory path:

Specify the path to the directory where the database is located. The <Directory path> can be specified as an absolute path of the actual EDMserver.
The <Directory path> argument can be specified with and without the directory delimiter character as the last character in the directory path. The directory delimiter character is '\' on the Windows platforms and '/' on the Unix platforms.
When activating the Select button, a window is opened to allow browsing the directory structure and select the desired directory.

Database:

Specify the name of the EDMdatabase to open. EDMdatabase names are case sensitive.
When activating the Select button, the names of all EDMdatabases that are located in the file directory specified in the <Directory path> are displayed in the related selection list.

Options:

accumulating command output:

A global option that appends the command output to the EDMsupervisor output window. Otherwise the output window is refreshed and only the last command output is displayed.
