Instruments and Database Repair

[NJA_MC]

I would love to say I deleted an Instrument on purpose to test your database repair/instrument reload feature, but it just didn't happen that way. I found you can alter "bars." in Chart Types and messaged up a few on the system (it was Permanente by change the name and ticksize), so I deleted them from the Instrument list knowing I could reload.

Well, the Database "Update Instrument Lists" -> Predefined Instruments lists did not reload the 6E, ES, and ZB after my error. I tried reset DB and Repair DB and those didn't work either. I stopped and restarted NT8 a few times to see if it had to refresh but no luck.

I think I have to re-install NT8 to get them back. But doesn't look like this feature is working right.

I tried to re-run the installer with "repair" and that didn't fix the Instrument List. I am going to uninstall and re-install.

Hummmmm

Okay,

I give up, I can't seem to get the Instruments back I deleted. I tried un-installing and re-installing NT8 BETA2 but it didn't replace the deleted instruments.

EDIT: I fixed the problem by Deleting the DB file and letting it be recreated.

Hello NJA_MC,

Thank you for your post.

You would need to use the option Update Instruments under Tools > Database.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Hi Patrick,

That is what I tried and it didn't work.
