Problem with DBMS and Platform Security

[shrads]

Hi,
I am trying to manage various DBMS operations in my application. I got this link and trying to custom it:
http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...ith_Navigation

But my application is just exiting without any errors.
While debugging I got that the if stmt viz.
if(KErrNone == PrivFolder.FindByDir(DBFileName, KNullDesC))
is evaluating to FALSE. I get the following debug msgs (If there is no TCB capability added):

PlatSecEnforcement OFF
PlatSecDiagnostics ON
PlatSecProcessIsolation ON
PlatSecEnforceSysBin ON
PlatSecDisabledCaps NONE

And dont get those debug msgs when TCB capability is present. But either way the app just exits. Is it some thing to do with the Platform Security or am I missing out any thing?

Since data caging affects only a few folders (search for data caging in the SDK Help), you may consider moving your database to some legal location.

Thank you wizard_hu_ for the reply. But what if I want my DBMS to be stored in a secure location (The Private directory depending on the UID3 as specified in the referred link). In my case no such directory is getting created for my application's UID3.

If you do not have any file supplied or created in your private directory then there is no such private path created.

Check for CreatePrivatePath and MkDirAll. You would find such an example in *AppUi.cpp file in HelloWorld type GUI application created by Carbide.c++.

That example seems to be wrong: the create-file-branch depends on the existence of the file which is obviously a bad idea (that Close also looks wrong).
Experiment with re-arranging the if-s, and use RFs::CreatePrivatePath for making sure that your private folder exists.

Thank you wizard_hu_ the CreatePrivatePath() worked.
