Managing Databases

Ongoing maintenance of your Concordance database is standard practice as an administrator. Some database management tasks require that all other users are logged out of the database when they are performed. The administrator is the only user allowed in the database when the following processes are occurring:

Index

Pack

Zap

Security

Modify

Replication/Synchronization

Converting or upgrading to a current version

Note

To see users currently logged in, on the Help menu, click About Concordance.

To disconnect users:  contact them directly, or reboot the database home drive.
