Saving Changes

[thertel00]

I recently powered down my option 11c to move it to a new location. When I brought it back up, all the changes I had made in the last few months were not in the switch. What is the deal with that? Luckily, I use OTM and was able to identify non-working sets and retransmit the changes. How do I verify that changes are being saved?

as long as you are doing regular backups (datadumps) in LD43 that shouldnt happen. in LD22 prt ovly and see if ld 43 is in the drol's, in fact I dont even know if taking 43 out of mids is even an option.

 

[thertel00]

How do I check to see when the last time it was run? Can I run it manually?

Any time a change is made the system will automatically do a backup. have you klooked at your printout in the morning to see what happened douring the MIDS to make sure everything is OK. Sounds like you have a problem on the system.

Why change the engine if all you need is to change the spark plugs.

Ace is correct. You do not have to have 43 in the midnights. If there is a change it will automatically do a data dump.

Always do a LD 43 EDD after making a lot of changes and watch to make sure it completes correctly.

Because of the problem you had you need to do thid to determine if there is a problem with the drives on the system.

Do I need to to the EDD after hours or can I do it anytime?

 

[allenmac]

You can EDD anytime. If you get in the habit of dumping after changes, you will see if the dump is successful or not.

Your switch may have been choking on the automatic dump. Normally when this is the case the switch will respond with 'No Go, Bad Data', when the EDD fails.

This can be a sign of database corruption.

You should add 043 to DROL!

Press Enter till DROL and then write 43.
Do An edd.

It is NOT nesseary to have LD 43 in the DROL, it will do a backup if there where changes. Do you check the printout every morning to see how the DROL went and that it didn't have any problems? If your not looking at it and fixing any problems, your not doing your job.

If you are not sure of your backups type dat in ld 43

This will list the dates and times of the available backups.
