Refreshing a Local Database
If changes are made to the Central Multi database, and it is accessible from the PC running
View, the local database is refreshed automatically when you login to View. Security and
site information is updated.
The local database can be refreshed by View Operators, at the request of a Multi SA, for:
• PCs that run View 24/7.
- or -
• PCs that are stand-alone and are only occasionally connected to a Multi Central
database.
Refreshing a Local Database while Running View
1. Launch View. At the Logon, confirm that there is a checkmark in the checkbox for the
Central database is accessible from this PC option.
• If so, proceed with the logon.
• If not, check with your Multi SA if the PC used to run View can connect to the PC
or server holding the Multi Central database. If the answer is affirmative, select
the checkbox next to The Central database is accessible from this PC.
2. While View is running, operators can either:
• Click on the View toolbar.
- or -
• Click the Refresh command on the View menu.
Note See your Multi system administrator, if this procedure fails.
Deleting a Database
You can delete a Central database at any point. Note that after deleting a Central database,
users can still connect to sites, using their local database. Attempting to refresh the local
database causes an error after the Central database is deleted.
Protecting the Multi Database
On some installations, the Multi central database (Multi db) may need to be protected from
copying and deletion. See
Multi Database Security on page 182 .
