Transaction Recovery

Object Data Management generally recovers automatically from transaction failures. If a file is locked accidentally, the repetition of the file operation results in transaction recovery to take place automatically. However, on any occasion, such as after an electrical failure, you must initiate a recovery procedure to free transactions.

All users can initiate recovery, and the system administrator can initiate recovery for all users.

To initiate transaction recovery

To initiate transaction recovery, take the following steps:

  1. On the Object Data Management menu, double-click ODM Configuration > System Administration for Areas > Recovery Management > Transaction Management.

    The Transaction Recovery (dmdocrecovery) session starts:
    [...]
  2. Use the browse arrow to make selections in the From User and To User lists to enter the users for whom you want to perform transaction recovery.
  3. Click View, if required, to open the Log (dmdoc6540m000) session, which includes a list of all failed transactions.
  4. Click Continue to initiate the recovery.
