Commonly Encountered Errors
Following are descriptions of some problems that commonly occur when
you use Backup Server.

“No language handler installed” Message

If you connect directly to the Backup Server with isql and attempt to issue
a command, you will get messages like the following:
1> dump database master to tapedump1
2> go
No language handler installed.
Language cmd: dump database master to tapedump1
This is expected behavior because Backup Server is not a stand-alone
Adaptive Server. It is an Open Server application, is not intended to accept
direct commands, and, therefore, has no way of parsing them. All
commands to the Backup Server, such as shutdown or dump and load, can
be issued only from a running Adaptive Server.
