Best Practices

For the best possible outcome from the DATABridge Client software, follow these guidelines:

• Disable cloning for any non-essential DMSII data sets in the Client Configurator.
• If you clone remaps, you don't need to include clone the base structure. Doing so replicates same data twice.
• Before you customize a data source in the Client Configurator, change its global settings in the Client Configuration dialog box. Global settings affect which options are available in the Client Configurator. If you change the global settings after you start the customization process, you'll need to refresh the data sets in the Client Configurator to show the correct properties. This can be a time-consuming process for large DMSII databases.
• Customize the data source before you clone. First, use global customization parameters in the Client Configuration dialog box. Then, in the Client Configurator, modify properties for individual data sets to achieve the results you want. Many of the customization parameters are difficult to change later without recloning the data source.
