Windows Server File Write

#1 Post by omni »

We have an external process that runs 24/7 and twice yesterday one of the files that is used over and over again to write out for edi was resaved/overwritten from a .dbf to a .$$$. We had no error message until it tried to open the file the next time on the timed event. This exe does not use ads and has been running for a couple of years.
Any thoughts?

Are you sure that it isn't another process that overwrote the file?

If you renamed it from the .$$$ back to .DBF would it be a correct database?

Are you using Advantage Server?

It will write to temporary files during some processes and then rename them.
