I understand, Ed.
I ran my backups automatically overnight and had them auto-zipped by PACL
(PowerArchiver Command Line), so they were quite light-weight and it
didn't matter if the batch-routine took some time: it worked while I
slept...

Hi Geert,
I’ve been running the “export all files to log” function which needs all
users to log-out before it will run. I decided on this option to keep
the >file small and backing up only one file is very quick.
Thanks,
Ed.

Hi all,
I used to make fully automised daily backups of several DP POS-systems,
'avoiding' the problem of logged-in users by making a *copy* of >the
DataBase-files in a temporary folder first, and then backing up that
temporary folder and delete it afterwards.
No need to log-off users, copying the files will work anyhow...

Another idea:
On the machine that hosts the database files, use Computer Management

won't actually shut down DP on their computer, but when they come back

can then re-run DP and be back to normal.

Hello Peter,
Thank you for the reply. Interesting that you use it for transport
management. I use it for the same; inventory and shipping
>>>management.
Anyway, I was hoping I could disconnect the user solely from the DP
application or database but not from the server.
Currently I have to remote log-in to the suspect station and properly
log it out. Unfortunately sometimes there are multiple >>>suspects.
Regards,
Ed.
PS: please know that I feel bad that NL is not in this cup. Just
doesn’t seem right without them and Italy.

Hi Ed,
It happens to me quit often with approx 40 users working every day in
our transport management application.
We work on a window server with terminal servers
I work as follow:
- Remove all *.tmp files (3 per user)
- Some of them remain because of incorrect log-out
- I get the names of those users from the files attributes
- Next step is to log out those users from the server
- Final step to remove the remaining *.tmp files
Success
Peter

Onderwerp: [Dataperf] Forced log-out?
I back up my DP database regularly at off hours when it is supposed to
be inactive. However, there are times when it fails >>>because a user
forgot to log-out of the database.
I was wondering if there is a way to forcibly eject users from the
database.
Thanks,
Ed.
