When Should You Use TIEWENCY?

• For problem determination within the Host Encyclopedia
• For detailed verification of internal model structures
• Under the direction of Technical Support

From time to time a model corruption may occur causing unusual errors. The encyclopedia software can normally detect a model corruption. It gives some diagnostic information against which to act. This may be a message relating to an invalid or missing mandatory association, or duplicate object for example. Correction may need to be made outside of the scope of the normal Encyclopedia Software. In these instances, the TIEWENCY tool can be used to investigate problematic objects and to identify the required action.

TIEWENCY can take locks that are held while waiting for the user to input a selection on a panel. It is possible that if you are working in TIEWENCY for some time that you can conflict with another encyclopedia user causing their application to deadlock and timeout.
