When a file or index rebuild is necessary, it can be accessed from the system setup menu, then option F

Although any business code's files can be rebuilt once you have accessed the rebuild screen, we recommend you be logged into the business code for which you intend to perform a rebuild function. The Business Code must first be entered, then enter 'Y' at either the Data rebuild or the Index rebuild or both. Click here for a reference list of file numbers and what their file names are. You will be prompted to enter 'A' to rebuild all files, or 'Q' to query each file for that business; if you have selected 'A', no further action is required. If you entered 'Q' a 'Y' for Yes must be entered after each file you wish to rebuild (the actual rebuild will occur immediately), press RETURN to skip any files where a rebuild is not necessary. After a rebuild of a specific file is completed the remaining files and indexes will continue to be displayed. If no additional rebuilds are necessary, press RETURN through the remaining files to complete the procedure.

Any situation in which the index for a file is missing will initiate a rebuild automatically. This includes files that are not included on the file rebuild menu, (i.e. transaction batch files).

NOTE! Any time that all files for a business are rebuilt, all users must exit that business completely before doing any other activity. If users do not exit, any files that are open will have the file (.fil) rebuilt but the index (.idx) rebuild will fail, thus the rebuild will not be successfully accomplished. In addition, the process will generally flag the .fil as not getting a complete rebuild, thus causing it to look 'corrupt' the next time it is opened, causing an attempt to do an automatic rebuild at that time.

Rebuilding the RSA file (Availability) through system set up often does not solve availability-related problems. This is best accomplished through 'S' & 'B'. Click here for instructions on How to Rebuild Availability.
