Use
proper hardware to insure that Optizone
Enterprise' data records stay intact.
Although
this is by no means a complete list of every
possible cause of corruption, it is meant to be a
starting point for troubleshooting data corruption
problems in Optizone. Remember to back up your
data nightly and keep older versions as well to
insure a restore in the event of catastrophic
hardware failure. A common strategy is to keep a
weeks worth of backups and to keep one copy per
month as well. See back-up in your software help
menu for more information.
Possible
causes for data corruption are:
- Abnormal
termination of the application while
manipulating data. This would include loss of
power, voltage spikes, internal consistency
errors, page faults, and fatal exception
errors.
- Substandard
or faulty network components: Because Optizone
handles data so quickly, it can stress the
network. These components may include network
drivers, network interface cards, cabling,
hubs, and switches.
- Data
storage components: Storage devices should be
checked regularly for errors and
fragmentation.
- Conflicting
software: Software such as Antivirus packages,
screen savers, and terminate-and-stay-resident
applications (TSRs) can cause conflicts with
Optizone that could cause data corruption.
- Incompatible
video drivers: Certain video drivers can cause
Optizone to become unstable and terminate
abnormally. Contact your hardware supplier for
more information.
- Network
Settings and Service Packs: Make sure that
your servers are running the latest service
packs, check client settings (such as
caching), and even try switching network
client drivers (such as from the Novell
Netware client to the Microsoft client for
Netware).
