Reconfigure

Allows the project administrator to reconfigure a chosen user Database (DB) or the projects system DB using windows.

Reconfigure SAMEREF-User Databases

In this instance all single extract databases owned by the project are offered for reconfiguration using the SAMEREF option to maintain inter-DB references. Reconfigure SAMEREF is typically used to correct a corrupted database, after attempts withe DICE have failed. It is used to rebuild the database from the beginning, from files.

The reconfigure files are stored in the chosen location.

Here, the administrator can decide if the source (possibly corrupt) should be deleted at file level, then recreated and rebuilt from files. Or the administrator can decide to backtrack the database to an earlier session (undoing all the work done since that session) and then rebuild the database in the same file.

There is also an option to discard or preserve the sessions from the source database. Building with sessions recreates the database exactly as it was, with all the session history of the source database. Recreating without sessions creates a merged version of the source, with all unnecessary data/sessions compacted out.

Reconfigure System Database

This option will prompt for confirmation that the system DB should be reconfigured.
