Backup Database
The Backup Database copies all of the files in
the main database and puts a copy in the backup folder. Potter
recommends that the database be backed up at least weekly and
store the backup somewhere other than the computer used to
build the programs. Back up copies may be stored on CD’s or
network drives.
Restore Database
The Restore Database restores the main database from either
the back up or an outside source.
Compact Database
The Compact Database removes the blank spots that are cre-
ated in the database. When job and versions of jobs are deleted
the database is left with “holes” in it that use up memory space.
Compacting the database removes the “holes” created.
Print Reports
The Print Reports is a program that runs on top of the main PFC configuration software. The reports include input to output cor-
relations, input message tags and UDACT-9100 mapping. When the print report is executed by clicking on Print Reports from the
File Menu, the screen will flash black for an instant and then the screen below will be displayed. When the reports screen pops up,
the different jobs are on the left and the versions specific to that job are on the right. Choose the job from the list and then choose
the version for the reports that are desired.
File Menu
Failure to create a back-up may result in the installer losing
programs in operating systems.
