Repair
Repair TaktSignal fixes the usual problems after a power cut, a crash or a full disk. It never deletes your data and never touches ERPNext.
Control Center → Help & diagnostics → Repair TaktSignal.
What Repair does
- restarts whatever stopped: the database, the application, the background updates;
- if the database was not shut down cleanly and a leftover lock file points to another program, moves the lock file aside (it is kept, not deleted) and starts the database;
- removes unfinished temporary files, such as a half-downloaded update;
- checks the program files against the list they were built with, and tells you to reinstall if some are missing or damaged.
When to use it
| The Control Center shows | Do this |
|---|---|
| Repair needed / Database unavailable | Repair |
| Application unavailable | Repair |
| Background updates stopped (data no longer refreshes) | Repair |
| Some TaktSignal program files are missing or damaged | Reinstall from taktsignal.cloud/download — your data is kept |
| TaktSignal's database files are missing | Restore a backup (Backup and restore). TaktSignal does not silently create an empty database. |
System check
Help & diagnostics → Run system check checks the database, background updates, the ERPNext connection and whether the Reader account is still read-only, and reports what it found.
If Repair does not help, export diagnostics and report the problem.
