Automatic System Recovery

This feature is controlled by two parameters in the Stratagy System Configuration file,
restore_original and restore_config. The parameters default to TRUE and enable the Stratagy to
create an Archive directory (c:\Stratagy\Archive).
The directory contains copies of the files used for system startup (i.e., Stratagy batch and
configuration files, and mailbox database) and is divided into three subdirectories: Original, Good
and Suspect.
When the Stratagy system software is first installed, a copy of the files are automatically stored in
an Archive subdirectory named Original. Each time you restart the system successfully, the files
automatically write to an Archive subdirectory named Good, thereby saving the most up-to-date
database changes.
If an unsuccessful startup is detected by the program, the system copies the problem files to an
Archive subdirectory named Suspect and restarts using the files in the Good subdirectory. The
Suspect files can be used for debugging purposes.
To receive notification of the unsuccessful startup, a new error_box parameter enables you to
designate an User ID Mailbox to receive the message. The Notify menu for the mailbox can be set
for a new "Panic" notification type.
