04/04 600 Utilities
MARC Database Deletes and recreates the indexes and MARC
headings, and corrects any problems it encounters. You also have the
option of rebuilding the keyword and crossreference (authority) indexes.
Important:
The MARC Database option automatically deletes the keyword
and crossreference indexes. If you select the MARC Database
check box but don't rebuild keywords or crossreferences, you
cannot conduct keyword searches or examine crossreferences
during database searches. To regain this functionality, you must
use Cataloging's Update Keywords option (see page 345), the
Rebuild Keywords utility (see page 595), or the Rebuild
CrossReferences option in Cataloging (see page 346).
3. To rebuild the library database using the options you selected, click Rebuild.
A message appears, informing you that this utility may take a long time and
asking you to confirm the command. Click Yes to proceed. A progress dialog
appears, describing each step of the process. When the utility finishes
rebuilding the database, the Cancel button changes to Close.
4. To exit the progress dialog, click Close. An exception report appears,
documenting the progress of the Rebuild Database utility. If the utility
encountered any problems during the process, it records them in the
exception report along with any corrective actions taken by the utility or
suggested solutions. Depending on the problem, the exception report may
direct you to run a Maintenance or Advanced utility to correct it or to contact
Follett Software Company's Technical Support department.

the Utilities exception report" on page 603.
Reload File
Important:
Do not run this utility unless directed to do so by Follett Software
Company's Technical Support department or by an exception report
generated by another utility.
If your database has corrupted files, Follett Software Company's Technical
Support department or an exception report generated by another utility, such as
Check Database Integrity, may advise you to use the Reload File utility to clean
up the problem. This utility copies the selected database file and then deletes the
original. Once it's removed, the utility rebuilds the file and transfers the valid
contents of the copy into the new file.
Note:
The Reload File utility requires Write access to the TEMP directory. If a
message indicates the application cannot access the TEMP directory, verify
that the directory exists on the workstation running the Reload File utility
and that you have the appropriate rights to the directory. If a message
indicates the workstation doesn't have enough available hard drive space,
you will need to free up some hard drive space before continuing.
