Utility function precautions

These precautions are intended for all of the Database Utility tools. Follow these precautions. Failure to do so can cause unexpected problems with the DeltaV databases.

Always use the Database Administrator Tools to work with the DeltaV databases.
Always keep the Objectivity Lock Server, the control database files, the Federated database (and related Boot file) on the same machine. This machine is always the host machine.
Never power off the workstation with the DeltaV applications active. This can cause problems with the Windows operating system as well as the DeltaV databases. Always close the DeltaV applications and log out of Windows before powering off a workstation.

Note

If your workstation does get powered off without exiting all applications and Windows first, use the Database Administrator tools to correct any problems with the DeltaV databases.
