Database Maintenance FAQ
Can I use
ParitechDM
without DataDirector?
No. ParitechDM is not a standalone program. It not only
requires DataDirector to be set up on your computer, but also
a current downloading account with Paritech in order to
function.
How do
I run Database Maintenance?
ParitechDM can be run by clicking Start
-> Programs -> Paritech -> Database Maintenance.
The first time you run it, you will need to select the
database to run it on.
Do
I have to run ParitechDM
every day?
You do not have to run ParitechDM
every day. You must, however run ParitechDM within 21 days of the last date it was run. You can
run it as frequently or infrequently as you like.
ParitechDM
will remember when it was last run and carry out all
Database Maintenance actions since that date as long as it
is carried out within the 21 day limit. No maintenance
action will take place for any stock data after the 21 day
limit. Please note that should you
overlook to run ParitechDM within the 21 day limit you may
need to
purchase a clean history CD from Paritech for $50 plus
postage and handling and GST.
Our computer is behind a firewall. Whenever I run ParitechDM, it
brings up the error “Cannot connect to Server”. Can I make
ParitechDM work through the firewall?
Yes, you can make ParitechDM work through the
firewall. You will need to open up the following port in your
firewall: Port 211, TCP, Outbound
How early can I run ParitechDM each day?
Maintenance actions for each day are available by 3:00
am on the following morning. Accordingly you can run ParitechDM
anytime after 3:00 am to update your database with the previous
day’s maintenance actions.
Does ParitechDM work with ASX Exchange Traded Options?
No. Support for Exchange Traded Options is planned in
the near future.
I have more than one ASX MetaStock database set up in DataDirector.
How come I can only select one with ParitechDM?
Currently ParitechDM only supports one database.
Support for multiple databases is planned in the future.
What happens if I run ParitechDM without my database being up to
date?
ParitechDM will not apply any Dilution Factor or Code
Change maintenance actions beyond the day to which the database was
last updated with price information. For example, if you last ran
DataDirector on the 20 June (and updated the database to 20 June),
and then run ParitechDM on the 23 June, then all Dilution Factor or
Code Change maintenance actions after 20 June will not be applied to
the database. These actions will be applied after the database is
brought up to date with DataDirector.
NOTE: ParitechDM uses the history data in symbol XJO
(S&P/ASX 200) to determine to what date a database has been updated
with DataDirector. Make sure that this security exists in the
database and is always updated.
