The window contains information about database files connected to TachoScan server.

Depending on the selected database file, you can view information on the location of the file, its size and status.

1.After successfully logging in to the database in the SQL server and database manager window (Fig. bellow) select Attach command from the Database menu or click on icon.

3.Program will start attaching databases according to the previously chosen options. When the operation is finished the following windows will show up (Fig. bellow):

Fig. Finishing the process of attaching the databases.

During the operation the server generates messages that are shown on the display and are saved to file "ManagerDB_log.txt" in the directory from which "Database Manager" is run. The destination file is named: "manager_db.exe".

In case of any doubts whether the operations were performed correctly – please send "ManagerDB_log.txt" to e-mail address: support@inelo.pl.

4.After attaching the database you should create and make available the directory (eg. named: "INELO"), where all documents, driver cards and tachograph readouts, scans of tacho discs and the backup of database are stored,

•in the main directory (eg. INELO) create a folder of files stored by the module TachoScan (eg. TachoScan),

•in the root folder (eg INELO) create a folder of documents (such as Documents),

•in the root folder (eg. INELO) create a folder where a backup copy of the database (eg. Backup) will be saved,

All users who are running TachoScan MUST have full access to these folders.
- It does not apply to the folder "backup".

The folder "backup" must appear on the same computer that is running MSSQL server.

The move program will only work properly on computers running MSSQL server.

Server services and SQL agent must be running for the proper operation of the program.

1.After successfully logging in to the database in the SQL server and database manager (Fig. bellow) select Dettach command from the Database menu or click on .

In the course of the operation server generates messages which are visible on the screen and saved to a file "ManagerDB_log.txt" in the directory in which "Database Manager" is run . The destination file is named: "manager_db.exe".

In case of doubt whether the operations were performed correctly, please send the file "ManagerDB_log.txt" to support@inelo.pl.

The move program will only work properly on computers running MSSQL Server.

Services and SQL Server Agent must be running to the proper operation of the program.

Using this command, you can reduce the size of the database files with the extension "LDF".

The size of files with the extension "LDF" is reduced automatically when you create a backup of the database.

If for some reasons, the backup copy is not made the size of files "LDF" grows infinitely.

There are two ways to reduce the file size:

•Simple mode - by pressing the button - the size of ALL "LDF" files is reduced,

•Advanced mode - - in the expanded view you can select the database file, which is to be reduced.
