TMG file maintence routines

[Jim Slade 0]

I have some questions about the TMG file maintence routines

1- What is the most effective sequence to run File > Maintenance: Reindex, Optimize, UFI, etc?

2- Is it useful to re-run any of these modules a second time?

3- When you have more than one data set in a project and run the Maintence routines, does it re-index, optimize, etc all the data sets in the project? or only those data sets that are enabled?

 

I am using TMG v9.05 with Windows 10

Thanks, Jim

I have some questions about the TMG file maintence routines

Optimize, then Verify File Integrity, then Optimize.

Optimize will also do a Reindex, so if you Optimize you do not need a separate Reindex.

 

2- Is it useful to re-run any of these modules a second time?

Most of the time the above three steps are sufficient. However in the past if VFI gave any errors, it had been recommended after the second Optimize to rerun first VFI then Optimize. It was suggested to continue that pair until the VFI gave no errors. Probably no longer required, but can't hurt.

 

3- When you have more than one data set in a project and run the Maintence routines, does it re-index, optimize, etc all the data sets in the project?

It is my understanding that it does the whole project, including all datasets.

 

Hope this helps,
