Making the Project Global

To make a standard project into a Global project, first enter ADMIN and display the command window. LOCK the project, then send a message to all users asking them to leave the current session. When finished making changes, UNLOCK the project so that users have access again.

When there are no users left actively in the project, enter the following commands:

Lock

make global

unlock

The make global command splits the System database as described in System and Global Databases. If the user lists the files in the project directory from the operating system, a new database named projglb is visible, where proj is the three-character project code.

At this stage, the Hub does not have a transaction database. When created for the first Satellite location from the ADMIN GUI, a transaction database is created at the Hub automatically. If you set your Global project up by giving commands from the command line rather than using the ADMIN GUI.

Note:
A transaction database must be created at the Hub before the Hub is initialized.
