Thanks for your help. I have dmadmin working now. The following is what I get when using it.
Attempting to recover database file:
/data/mfs/jyoung_CMPD-7-INCH_071510.mf1
From shadow file:
/scratch/ideas4207.sf1 ...
The database file is in a state that requires it to be
recovered.
Enter...
It seems that the question that I asked is not the problem. After typing dmadmin.exe I get
SDRC_INSTL not set
Error opening I-DEAS parameter file
Error opening Data Management parameter file
Does anyone have any suggestions?
