Recovering the Transaction Database

The transaction database is a non-propagating database. If the transaction database becomes corrupt, the simplest recovery procedure is as follows:

1. Stop the daemon.

2. Reconfigure from the transaction database to files (if required).

3. Renew the transaction database by one of the methods described in ‘Renewing the Transaction Database’ in Running Global Projects, for example:

   Renew delete Transaction /ABC [for location ABC]

4. Start the daemon. This will create a new transaction database from its definition in the Global database.

5. If required, stop the daemon and reconfigure from files to the transaction database. The daemon should then be restarted.

   Note:
   Renew without reconfiguration will remove any running commands.
