5.3.4.3 Applying Language
After clicking Apply button of Language Editor dialog, TRU will re-load the string in selected language
from the Res.mdb, and then displays the changes to the interface.
If there is string leave blank in the string table of applied language, TRU will use English string instead.
5.3.4.4 Notes
Some string may include Enter key, you can enlarge the height of the cell to see the whole content of
string.
If string includes Enter key, using [Ctrl]-[Enter] compound keys to entry the Enter key.
The ‘&’ symbol is a hotkey operator. &File means the hotkey is F, &Save means the hotkey is S.
If you want to put the new completed language in the setup file of TRU, then the file Res.mdb is needed
for packaging. Please contact your dealers salesman for details.
5.3.5 Maintain Database
From time to time, it is important for the TRU database to be backed up, purged and compacted. The
frequency at which these tasks are performed depend on the size of your time data and the speed at which
the TRU database file is growing.
Before we continue, read the definitions of each action that can be performed on the TRU database:
Backup Database – This function makes an copy of the TRU database as of the time the function is
executed. This is very useful for keeping a copy of your data file in case of a disaster. It should be
performed on a weekly basis or even more frequently if the data in TRU is extremely important. This
method of backup should not take the place of a normal daily tape backup.
Restore Database – This function can be used to import the backup database. Please keep in mind; the
current database settings will be overwritten by the imported database.
Compact Database – To increase performance, when records are deleted from the TRU database, they
are not permanently deleted. However, when many deleted records accumulate in the TRU database, it
can hinder performance. To permanently remove deleted records (and therefore reduce the size of the
database and increase performance) 'Compacting' the database is recommended on a monthly or
semi-monthly basis.
A good indication of when you should clear time data is when TRU performance seems to have slowed
considerably due to the increase in file size (usually well over 10MB). If reporting is taking much longer
than it used to, it might be time to clear time data.
All the database maintenances are all running under Normal Mode.
