Receive TMS Information Updates

The following changes are recommended to improve the performance of your TMS program on newer PC's and over networks. This will also correct the error message "Picture too big, corrupt, or wrong format." when running reports.

Modify your CONFIG.FPW file for increased memory usage

To gain more memory for TMS use on modern PC's, open the file CONFIG.FPW, located in the TMS program folder, in any text editor such as Notepad, and make the following changes :

1. 1) Change the line:
   
   *MEMLIMIT=60,1024,4096
   To:
   MEMLIMIT=60,10240,20480
    

2. Change the line:
   
   MVCOUNT=1448
   To:
   MVCOUNT=14480
3. Save the CONFIG.FPW file and TMS will use the new settings the next time it runs.
    

Have users create temporary files on local hard drives

You can increase network throughput and prevent some file I/O problems by configuring TMS to create its temporary files in a directory on a local hard drive. To gain these benefits, make the following changes:

1. In the CONFIG.FPW file, change the line:
   
   *TMPFILES=C:\TEMP
   To:
   TMPFILES=C:\TMSTEMP
    
2. Save the CONFIG.FPW File.
3. On each TMS workstation, create the directory C:\TMSTEMP on the local hard drive.
4. Backup the TMS Data Folder on the server.
5. Have all TMS users exit the program.
6. Delete all of the following files from the TMS Data folder:
   All files ending with the extension .TMP and all files with system generated file names consisting of an alpha character (A-Z) followed by 7 numbers and having the extension .DBF, .CDX, or .FPT. An example of one of the temporary files would be B9876543.DBF. Contact TMS support if you have any questions before deleting files.
7. When a TMS user suffers a system failure while running TMS, have him/her delete the files from the C:\TMSTEMP folder before restarting TMS.
