Aloha 6.4.29 Had to run in Redundancy for a few hours tonight. Can someone please give me the steps to recover out of redundancy. I do not have Fileserver Recovery as an option in Aloha manager. Thank you.

If you do not have this option there are 3 possibilities
1 - You do not have the correct BOH security level for this function.
2 - Your permissions are jacked up
3 - Sometimes this just happens
See if you have an Aloha Manager login with higher access in order to get this function. If you cannot get this option then do the following as a last resort-
A safe(r) way to to a fileserver recover is to copy the trans.log from the master terminal to the DATA folder on the server. Edit downtime.ini on the terminals and change the LastFileserver=TERMx to LastFileserver=ALOHABOH (if your server is named ALOHABOH). After doing this restart iber or reboot the terminals. You can of course just delete the downtime.ini on each terminal too, but I find this way a little quicker.
