With the latest update you can customize which terminal does daily data validations. How do I assign this to a certain terminal? Currently, it's on the tech desk & I would like it to be on mine, the Host computer. I've been trying to figure this out on my own with no luck.

If you go to the computer you'd like to be the one to trigger the Database Validations, Configuration -> Special Maintenance -> Database Backup and Validation. In the lower section you'll see "Only Run on Computer" and a button to that says "Here". Once you click the button it should load the computer name (host). Once that is set, the Computer set (host) should be the only one to trigger the validations.

If you need more assistance please feel free to contact Tech Support at 888-724-6742

Thanks. I got it.

Thanks worked great, I always wondered why the shop pc did the validation.

FWIW, it appears that it can ONLY be the host. I tried configuring a client to perform the database validation and the hostname would not configure...received a message about the backup device not found (the client doesn't have a backup device). Seems as though the new Validation configuration is tied to backup...not sure why?

Yes it appears that Workstation currently can not be selected as the targeted machine. We'll have this addressed.

Mine was doing it at the shop pc, and did the validation, unless its because it was the first one shut off.

The Database Validations are triggered by the first computer that closes for the day. Depending on if the weekly validation has been run yet a Workstation could trigger the weekly validations as well. The idea behind the "Select this computer" is to allow users to select which computer host or workstation triggers the validations. It appears there is a validation on the workstations for the backup location which shouldn't always be needed on a workstation. This issue will be addressed in the next release.
