Managing server-based termbases
Manage the set of termbase actions users can perform in the Administrator view in MultiTerm Desktop.
- Creating server-based termbases
MultiTerm Administrator enables you to create server-based termbases which enable concurrent users to view, add and use the latest terminology entries in their translation. - Starting server-based termbases
To make server-based termbases available for editing, you must start the termbase. - Stopping server-based termbases
Stop the termbase before deleting or reorganizing it, or if you want to temporarily prevent further work on it. - Reorganizing server-based termbases
Reorganizing a termbase cleans up the data. This helps to reduce the size of the database. - Unlocking entries on server-based termbases
Termbases can be used concurrently by multiple users. While a user is editing an entry, the system locks the entry on behalf of the user, so that no other user can edit that entry. However, you can unlock termbase entries for edit purposes. - Deleting server-based termbases
You can delete server-based termbases if you no longer need them. - Monitoring server-based termbase size
If you have a large termbase, you may need to monitor its size regularly to ensure that it is within the capacity of your database server. - Backing up server-based termbases
You may want to back up your server termbase as a security measure in case your termbase gets currupted, or if you want to save and send the contents of your server termbase to a translator/terminologist to create a new termbase from your backup. - Recreating server-based termbases
If you want to base a new termbase on another one, or if your termbase is corrupted, you can always recreate the original termbase from the backup files. - Entry classes for server-based termbases
Entry classes are created in the server environment and allow you to limit access to entries in a termbase. Entry classes are termbase-specific. - SDL MultiTerm report
The MultiTerm Desktop report shows the number of hits (user accesses) made on server-based termbases, over a specified period of time, by specified users.
