Re-indexing Data Files

If you are having sorting problems with your IRis data - for example, agency records are displayed out of order - your index files may be corrupted.  Re-indexing the database can fix this problem.

Even with normal usage, IRis data files can grow very large and indexes can become outdated, so it's recommended to re-index your data regularly to maintain performance. You may also want to re-index the database if you've deleted a lot of records recently. Re-indexing the database will permanently remove these records, freeing up space and making the system run faster.  

To Re-index IRis: 

Make sure everybody is out of IRis!

  1. Go to “Supervisor Menu”
  2. Select “Options” and “Reindex Data Files”
  3. Click on “Select all tables” button
  4. Click on “Do it!” button.                   
#1 Tech Tip

Q We just bought a new server. What is the best way to move IRis from the existing server to the new one?

A With IRis 2.3, all you need to do (after setting up the new server) is: Go to the IRis folder on the old server, R-click on it, select Copy, navigate to the correct drive on the new server, R-click and choose Paste.
