Recovering your work after toolset abort

Toolset

To describe the options for recovering from software errors in the toolset

All ObjecTime developers

All Versions

In the event the toolset encounters an unrecoverable error, you will be provided with a dialog with a "cancel" and "ok" option.

If you select "ok" at the prompt, after the toolset is exited, there will be files in your objectime directory with names like myproj#crash#11:13:3.update and crash#11:13:3.im. These files contain your work. Keep these files until you have recovered your work. The toolset will output a crash update file for each update in your workspace and an image (.im) file for your whole session.

Restart Objectime and activate the update myproj#crash#11:13:3 (drag from a directory browser into you workspace). You should find your work. After recovering it you should rename the update and passivate it.

It is a good idea to use passivation to save your work (drag update from workspace to directory browser).

Safe recovery of your work after a save depends on the amount of available disk space. Sufficient disk space must be avialable for the saved crash files, or these files may not be saved correctly.
