Issue:

This issue affects you if you use Sage 100 Contractor version 23.1.221 through 23.2.121.

In Sage 100 Contractor versions 23.1.221 through 23.2.121, if your company database is not accessible when nightly maintenance starts, the next time you open your company, you receive a severe warning message telling you that you must restore your company from a backup.

We’ve improved the nightly maintenance process for version 23.2. If another process (such as another backup system) is running at the same time as nightly maintenance, it prevents nightly maintenance from performing a data integrity check. The next time you open your company, Sage 100 Contractor warns you that a data integrity check could not be performed.

Action:

If you use Sage 100 Contractor version 23.1.221 through 23.2.121, install the new build of Sage 100 Contractor version 23.2.

After installing, if nightly maintenance cannot access your company data, the message that appears the next time you open your company tells you that nightly maintenance could not perform an integrity check. 

Note: If you are upgrading from version 23.1, you will need to upgrade your database. If you are coming from version 23.2.121 you will not need to upgrade your database
