In order to keep Connect running at its best here are a few hints and tips for regular housekeeping:-
- Health Check – Use this to check the local license is in peak performance, for more detail refer to Health Check
- Interconnect icon – Understanding how this works for synchronisation of data between licenses, for more detail refer to Interconnect
- Optimisation – On a monthly basis it is a good idea to reindex and optimise your Connect database, this will keep it running in peak performance. See below further details on how to perform the two different types of optimisation available.
Performing an Optimisation
Important: When performing any optimisation on a license ensure that specific license it is not needed for anything urgent as once an optimisation is started on the local license, it cannot be interrupted and Connect will not be available for use.
From the Back Office, Click on menu option File > Perform Optimisation
Follow the arrow across to the right and select either a:-
- Quick Optimisation – This will index the required database files on the local machine only without interrupting other licenses. This should be quick, but depends on how much data existing on local database.
- Full Optimisation – This will re-index the full database files and require all other licenses to be closed on other machines. This also creates a backup of data which can take up local hard drive data space. It can also take some time to run so it’s recommended this is done during a period when the software isn’t needed, perhaps the end of the day.
