New MLS Backup/Restore behavior
Posted: Thu Dec 06, 2012 10:40 am
I wanted to point out a new behavior after a database restore, and if any programmers are lurking, maybe ask for a slight change if possible.
Since the 3.5.1 upgrade, whenever you restore the database, it will lock out finance until you get a synch file from Salt Lake (I verified this with LUS, so it isn't just a problem on our computer). This happens even if everything was open and working when you made the backup. Thus if we want to put a copy of the database on the computer in the stake president's office, he would not be able to use the finance section because that computer won't do a send/receive and will never get the file.
It currently looks like the "Reports" area is open, so that you can look at finance statements and info from the Other and Reimbursed categories. However, you cannot get into the Budget section so you can't do budget reports. The requested change would be that budget reports somehow be enabled and then the second copy of the data would be able to do everything important.
