Repairing Databases

In some cases, the Programming Executive will display an error

message which states that the database index files do not match the

database files. This should not occur during normal operation.

Usually, this error occurs if the database files have been changed

without using the Programming Executive or if a Programming

Executive operation was interrupted by turning off the personal

computer. This message will instruct you to use the Repair System

Databases or Repair Rack Databases command. These

commands will reĆindex all index files for the selected system or

selected rack, respectively.
