Setup or Check the Durell Maintenance Routine

Setup or Check the Durell Maintenance Routine

  1. This guide will show you how to setup or check the Durell maintenance routine. The steps below should be followed while logged into your Server, or the lead machine/PC that holds your Durell data.

  2. After ensuring you are following these steps while logged into your server or lead PC, go to the Windows Task Scheduler and create a new task


  3. Fill in the “General” tab as shown, ticking “Run whether user is logged in or not” and “Run with the highest privileges”
  4. On the Triggers tab, create a new Trigger and fill out the details as shown below 
    

(The precise timing of running the maintenance routine running are up to you. I would advise doing the maintain after the backup has finished and before the start of the working day)

  1. Under the Action tab create a new Action

  


  1. Start the program C:\imw-user\maintain.exe – this should always be the same, for each company that uses Durell

In “Add Arguments” please insert the file path for the Durell Data followed by “,true” (without quotation marks).

This needs to be the data path and not the mapped data path.  So if you have mapped a shared folder as a drive you will need to use the shared folder file path, NOT the mapped drive file path.

In example, if you have a folder on the C:\ Drive called “Drive_S” and it is mapped as a network drive S:\ then you will need to use the filepath “C:\Drive_S\imw-data\,true” and not “S:\imw-data\,true”

This is because the drives are only mapped when a user logs in, so if the user is not logged in when the schedule runs then the system will not be able to find the drive S:\.

If the S:\ drive is a physical drive or a partition then it is ok to use the S:\ file path:

  1. The “Conditions” and “Settings” tabs do not require any changes and can beleft on their defalt setting
  2. Save and Exit, the task should now be scheduled to run, at the time you requested
  3. Each ​morning the Compact Log should be checked to ensure the Maintain is running successfully every day.  The compact log is in the imw-data folder and is called CompactLog.txt.
