FAQ’s

When should the RPS database be compacted?
•	Compacting should be done anytime that performance of the remote programming application appears to be slower than normal 
•	This should also be done if several records in the database have been added or deleted. This includes Accounts in the Panel List, Templates, Operators, etc.

Why should the RPS database be compacted?
•	Compacting a database is similar to defragmenting a computer’s hard drive. If files are often added and deleted, this tends to leave gaps in the file structure, which causes data-lookups to take a longer than normal. Compacting the RPS database may prevent poor performance, if it is done often enough.

When and why should the database be repaired?
•	Occasionally, databases tend to become corrupt. This prevents the application from retrieving data from it and writing data to it. If accounts no longer open, there is a good chance that the database is corrupt and the database should be repaired to remedy the situation.
