When loading solutions you sometimes get special instructions to convert/create runtime etc. etc.

When you load a solution that has a fair few number of pre-requisites you won't necessarily know if any of these pre-reqs have special instructions. Should you always convert/create runtime anyway after loading a solution with dozens of pre-reqs?

I appreciate that you wouldn't get so many pre-reqs if you kept up to date with your SP's and weekly dumps. But as a rule I don't fix anything that's not broken!

I would be interested to know what other people do when faced with a scenario such as above.

What I do, after a solution installation with several dependencies and/or co-requisites, is run a Print Solution History (ttpmc2460m000) for "solution history" and then search for domains or table definitions:

If none is found, I do not run anything.
I a domain or table definitions is found, I check the text of the solution that installed it/them to see what kind of action must be taken.

I only one solution is to be installed, without dependencies/co-requisites, I always have a look at the components to be installed and read the solution text if needed, fo any actions to be taken.

Also, if you have several languages other than 1 to 4, make sure that in a regular base you run copy software components.

Hi Victor,

Thanks for your quick reply.

A useful session, I learn something new every day from these forums.

When I install some solution with lots of dependancies, I do the "Create RDD" only at the end. (I don't work on Production system but on development systems).
When I install Tools Solutions I do the "Create RDD for Tools" after each solution.
Typically when you install solutions for application (not Tools) they are no dependancies with Tools Solutions.
Tools Solutions only depends on other Tools Solutions.
For both sessions I use all the options (reconfigure tables or "also dump data def") : if there are no changes, only a check is performed by Baan. It takes a little more time but it is safer.

In a general way, it is recommended to use SP instead of weekly dumps.
