Cannot connect to database ${HOST}

Q: I'm trying to connect to your test db

${HOST}:$(DBPATH)/Employee-cfg.gdb

and I get this error

unable to complete network request to host "${HOST}".
failed to locate host machine.
The specified name was not found in the hosts file or Domain Name Services.

it seems parameter are not substituded by value in INI file


A: ${HOST} & ${DBPATH} are macros that expand into variable names HOST/DBPATH and may be defined in config file or config database. Recheck if database exists or remove macros and write absolute path.
