Repairing a Project

Repairing a project fixes several database problems.

  • Someone copied the database when the RSCM Server was still running.

  • The database cannot be opened because temporary snapshots are corrupted.

  • The database cannot be merged automatically with an emergency save of iCDB transactions.

  • The database contains a lock file (*.lck) that the system did not properly dispose of.

  • The iCDBNetServer unexpectedly disconnected from the design data due to machine shutdown or network problems.

    Note:

    iCDB Project Backup automatically creates a repair backup before it attempts to repair a database.

When you open a project that needs repair, the Server Monitor shows a Lost connection to iCDB Server diagnostic message in a balloon pop-up in your system notification area. Make sure the iCDB Server machine and its network connection to the design data are restored before repairing the project.

Prerequisites

  • The project cannot be open in any other application.

Procedure

  1. Open the iCDB Project Backup Utility. See Invoking the iCDB Project Backup Utility.
  2. Repair the database with Project > Repair. A message appears reminding you that the database structure will be upgraded.

Results

The results appear in the Output window.

If the repair fails, restore the most recent backup.
