FRx Do's and Don'ts
- DO
NOT
use special characters such as ( - / : | ‘ % “ $ &
\ ) in row format, column layout, tree, or catalog IDs. Doing
so may contribute to the corruption of the *.F32 file.
- DO
save
a report prior to generating if any changes have been made to
a catalog. Failure to do so may create corruption in the *.F32 file
which can lead to loss of specification set information.
Protect your reports by saving before generating!
- DO
perform the compact utility on a routine basis to repair your
specification set and FRx system database and prevent loss of
valuable data such as reports and company information.
This utility is located under File | Compact FRx Database.
Remember to have all other FRx users exit the application before
compacting. This should be performed at least weekly to ensure the
stability of the *.F32 and FrxSys32.MDB files.
- DO
NOT
forget that the FRx Advanced edition has the export feature, which
can be used to create copies and backups of specific building
blocks. This can be used to transport report information from site
to site and can become extremely valuable if an *.F32 file becomes
corrupt.
- DO
ensure that the FX or FV folder (and contents) is backed up
as part of your routine network backup procedure. This backup is
invaluable in situations in which data must be restored.
- DO
take the time to print row format, column layout, tree, and catalog
information after designing a new report. These should be maintained
according to Detailed Procedures and are invaluable if data is lost or
corrupt.
- DO
look in CustomerSource
TechKnowledge if you get any errors.
