Hi,
We are currently running a VFP9 SP2 app on a windows 2003 server, which has been virtualised. We want to move to either 2008 server or preferably 2012 server. The app has a DBC and DBFs and has been running happily for over 10 years. The problem we have when transferring the data over to a virtualised 2008 or 2012 server is that we get index corruption once or more a day. We then have to move the data back. We have tried a few different configurations but do not know why this is happening.
I just want to check what servers people are using for their networked VFP app and any problems (or not) they have had.
Please let me know what version of windows you are using and what version of VFP and if the server is virtualised or not.
TIA
Peter
Peter,
We host our data on a Server 2012 with application being run from Server 2008 accessing the data. We get CDX corruption. Some clients more than others. We have a nightly routine to index troubled clients data sets.
Since you asked this. I'm starting some research to see which files get corrupt the most. There might be a pattern to our corruption, and a pattern to the code that touches the files.
