It looks like you are rewording error messages rather than copying their contents directly into the thread. It would be helpful to see your actual error messages.

proutil dbname -C busy
"" cannot find or open file \dbapth\pool.db errno = 5 (43).

It appears your database is offline and the control area (pool.db) cannot be accessed. "Errno = 5" means access denied. So I'd guess your user account doesn't have read access to the database files or directory. Check your file and directory permissions and your user account's effective permissions on them.

But when i try to run below command it working fine.

It's not clear which command you are referring to.

promon pool
There is no server for database pool.

You can't run promon against an offline database.

If you are running proenv on Windows, always run it with elevated permissions.

Thank u all.

I able to run commands now, previously i not able to run due to permission issue.
My windows team not provided Administrator access to the server.
