Saving Data

This Document can be found in the following categories:

Commands

Select menu DATABASE>SAVE DATA to save changes to the database.

Resource managers should periodically save data to the database during a session to prevent loss of work in the unlikely event of an unrecoverable system problem.

All changed rows in the front end file are saved to the database if data has been checked out.

Both resource and project data are saved if both are checked out. There is no option to save one and not the other.

NOTE WELL:

FILE->SAVE and FILE>SAVE AS commands save your current, working data to a local PDWare Portfolio file, but do NOT save the data to the database.

Prompt for Save to Database

If you have any database locks AND have changed any data that are contained in the database, the dialog below appears if you select any of the following commands

CLOSE (the data file),
DATA>GET DATA,
FILE>NEW,
FILE>OPEN

If you select YES or NO and DROP LOCKS is checked, the locks on the current node(s) are cleared. Locks you may have on other nodes are not affected.

 If you have made changes and want verification that the data correct in the database, select menu command database-Get Data and click the Yes button on this dialog to save data before the Get operation. The Get Data will then get the data you just saved.
