TIMS TIP: JULY

This month we're rolling out a little utilty that will help get rid of those nasty TAF and LCK files that seem to hang up TIMS from time to time. If you've ever placed a call to us saying that your EMU batch has failed (error) or you are not able to get into Edulog because it says a server is already running, then this utility is for you. Usually the main cause of those problems is a pesky LCK or TAF file that didn't terminate correctly. This utility will easily find and remove them. Choose to remove them ALL or just from the database that is giving you problems. - TIMS Staff

Click here to download the program. Place it in the ELT\exeTIMS folder and then copy a shortcut to it from your desktop.
