Think: I have a server and 3 clients. At night the Windows service makes a BACKUP, REINDEX and COMPACT for maintenance and then for health care of DB it runs a DIAGNOSE. So far all works as expected. If the DIAGNOSE returns an error status, I start a CLONE – no problem. Then I .Throw the DB and rename the repaired files and register the DB. – All works as expected!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>But if our application still runs on one or more of the three clients mentioned above, I cannot .Throw, .UnregisterServer or anything else to delete the 4 DB files. The only way I found is to write a file x then reboot the server and on start of the service, if the file x is present, I can delete the 4 files and rename the clone.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>That works, but not all system administrators are happy if I reboot the server…<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:DE-CH'>Best regards<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:DE-CH'>Fabian<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:DE-CH'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
