Utilities
The Utilities submenu allows the user to do various maintenance work
on the CRIS system. This includes packing databases (which doesn't always
get done on a network), deleting temporary files, and year-old invoices.
Pack Databases
This command removes records marked for deletion from the CRIS database
system.
Delete Temporary Files
This command removes all TM*.* files from the CRIS subdirectory. This
command should be used sparingly in a networked environment.
Delete Year-Old Records
This command will remove all old invoices (greater than 1 year old) from
the database system.
Networking
The CRIS software package was programmed in Clipper Release 5.01.
Clipper provides extensive record and file locking features which
have been implemented in this system.
The following are a few notes I have on networking the CRIS product:
The MAIN.EXE file must be marked as Read Only in a Netbios network
such as Lantastic, or Read-Only/Sharable in a Novell environment.
The CRIS system will try to perform a file lock on databases when
any type of delete transaction is performed. It is important to
do most of your deletions in off-times so that the pack sequences
may be processed successfully.
Many of the networking features of CRIS were used from other
networkable software developed for our wide customer base (many
of whom use networks daily). However, CRIS 3.0 specifically has not
been fully tested in a networked environment. If you decide to
network the CRIS system, and have problems with it, please contact
us with the particular area the error took place.
It is important to remember that being networkable does not necessarily
give you the right to let everyone use the software on their
workstation. It is necessary to contact Computech to obtain a site
license for this product.
If you have any other networking questions, or need to purchase a
network, please contact us. We are Novell Authorized Resellers, and
pride ourselves on unique solutions to customer's needs.
