bad news is, it's on "Electrons" meaning a thumbdrive. Worse news is, my connection is dial up. Poor dialup.

Instructions for a "Christmas Tree" or "PACMAN"- External Rebuild for Version Conflicts and Restraint Errors

The password screen appears, press enter In the center of the screen you will a list of files. Locate the legend in the lower right portion of the screen. You are looking for * (star), ? (question mark), or - (dash) to the left of the file names. Use arrow key to scroll down the list. * = tagged, ? = error, - = no data It is common to see the files AWESX40N, AWESX41N, and AWESX42N marked with a hypen (-) indicating no data. Note the files that have these indicators, write them down for future reference When done making notes press F5 to select all of the files then press enter. "If the process aborts at this stage and kicks you back to the DOS prompt there is a memory conflict in the CONFIG.SYS statements, go to your CSSAMO or notify us." For more information on a file that is tagged with one of the symbols in 9 above, press F6 with the file highlighted. The right side of the of the screen will list some options and depending on what type of problem you have been experiencing. 0 = exit, 1 = index, 2 = Reformat & Index, 3 = Version Rebuild For restraint problems choose option 1, press enter, then when done, repeat and select option 2. Normal maintenance run option 2 once a week. For Version conflicts select option 3. Then ensure the old ULLS-S4.DFL is highlighted. Press enter to run the rebuild process. "As the rebuild process is running it may beep and briefly list errors. The errors will normally be the file names that were marked by one of the codes ( * ? - ) above." You may notice one error towards the endo fo the process, file not found for ULLS-S4 Exec and have a machine code symbol after it, this is common and not a problem. When the process is done it will give the total number of errors at the bottom of the screen and the name with the location of the log (c:\s4data\ULLS-S4.RBD), write it down for future reference. Press Esc twice to exit the rebuild utility You are now back at the command prompt: c:\s4data> To view the rebuild log type: edit ulls-s4.rbd once open you can scroll the log for more information on the errors encountered. When done making notes press and release the following: Alt F X (these are the shortcut commands to close the editor program) As part of weekly maintenance, if there are no major (files marked with * or ?) problems you should delete the rebuild log. The next time rebuild is run it will recreate the file. To delete the log ensure that you are still at the c:\s4data> (command prompt) type del ulls-s4.rbd and press enter. Type s4 to restart ULLS-S4. Note: It is important to include the spaces in the commands but do not use any punctuation marks

Press enter to bring up the second screen at the bottom you will see the purge frequency, change it to 10, press enter.
