How often should we run the Archive File Integrity Check program?
It is not critical that you run the Archive File Integrity Check program as often as you run the Data File Integrity Check program. Unlike the regular Tabs3 data files, the archive files are written to only when the Update Statements program is run (or if you run the Purge Archive Data (Version 12 and prior), Undo Single Updated Statement, Undo Multiple Updated Statements, Payment Adjustment or Transfer A/R and Transactions programs). Depending on the size of the archive files, it may take quite awhile for this program to run. If you run the Update Statements program only once a month, running the Archive Data File Integrity Check program once a month should be sufficient. It is up to your firm to determine a comfort level of how often this program should be run. (Note: Make sure you run this program if you experience problems with your hard drive.
