To Refresh a Local Database while Running View

1.Run View. At the Logon, check if there is a checkmark in the checkbox next to The Central database is accessible from this PC.

If so, proceed with the logon.

If not, check with your Multi SA if the PC used to run View can connect to the PC or server holding the Multi Central database. In the affirmative, check the checkbox next to The Central database is accessible from this PC.

2.While View is running, operators can either:

Click on the View toolbar.

- or -

Click the Refresh command on the View menu.

If procedure To Refresh a Local Database while Running View fails, see your Multi SA.

Deleting a Database

You can delete a Central database at any point. Note that after deleting a Central database, users can still connect to sites, using their local database. Attempting to refresh the local db causes an error after the Central db is deleted.

Protecting the Multi db

On some installations, the Multi central database (Multi db) may need to be protected from copy and deletion. See Multi Database Security on p. 165.

“Cannot Open Db”

Tip

Can be the result of:

Deleting a Multi central database (Multi db)

Unavailability of a network connection to the Multi db.

Check the network’s status. When using Admin, this error has the side effect of creating a new, central database that has the same name as the regular database.
