Hi,
yes, I used the tool many times in the past, however I remember I had some issues only due to the foldername "Documents and Settings" due to the fact it includes even 2 spaces. I changed the location of my .dtc and .dtr folders under a folder like C:\JDIworkspace and I managed to save myself from many headaches. Still I am not yet sure this is your problem, it is maybe worth to try it, there's nothing to lose anyway. If you have 700 NWDS and you want to go for this option, let me know and I tell you how to do it.
Coming back to the error message, I can see two errors in the trace:
A). the problem about the ~ character. This error is strange, I never faced before, and the DCtool should not have a problem with it as this is the namespace separator in DC names, it should be able to handle it. However as mentioned, "Documents and Settings" will be "translated" as "DOCUME~1" and maybe this also confuses the tool.
B). The "Access is denied" error. For this you can specify recursively to grant access for your user for the corresponding folder. I guess you have tried it, but to be on the safe side I rather ask it.
Can you please first ensure that you have full access rights to the folder (and its subfolders) you can see in the error message?
Can you please also tell me the version of the SCs in these tracks? I guess the version is >= 7.1 (I assume from the name like ENGINEAPI, etc). Can you pleae also tell me from which NWDS you use the DCTool? Is it a 700 NWDS?
Let me know whether this helps or gives any idea.
Best Regards,
Ervin
