rebuild application files

[changneil88]

How often do we have to run rebuild application file? I have a problem every now and then my quoation and sales order keeps disappearing. You think it's safe to rebuild once a week. (MAS 3.41)

It's safe to rebuild application key files any number of times. I've never had it CAUSE a problem in 18 years and 300 installations.

Your symptom sounds more like a network problem - either a bad network card or wiring troubles.

How often do Mas 90 users usually rebuild the application key files? Is this considered routine maintenance?


Thanks!

I recommend rebuilding keys, rebuilding sort files and relinking line files monthly.

I also recommend as a minimum:

Daily incremental backup
Weekly and monthly FULL backup

And if you haven't, test the restore function on some non-critical files to be sure it will work - too many don't.

The following files should be copied and saved locally:
SY0CTL.SOA
SY0SEC.SOA
fid0map.ini
All "Application"+"0"+"Company"+".SOA" files
