Data Store Lifecycle
The order of events for the Data Store is as follows. The following assumes that the Data Store has already been set up and configured.
- A CaseWare application (e.g. Working Papers, Tracker, etc.) is launched; this will automatically connect to the Data Store.
-
The Data Store will try to create the Personal Data Store if it does not already exist.
Note: If anything goes wrong the Data Store will put itself in the Disabled state (
). To determine what is wrong, navigate to the Tools | Options | Data Store dialog. - If there is only a Personal Data Store and it was successfully created, the Data Store will enter the Enabled state (
). Skip to 6. - If the Data Store is available then the Data Store will enter the Online state (
) followed by the Synchronizing state (
) and once synchronization is complete the Online state again. If the Data Store is not available then it will immediately enter the Offline state (
). - The Data Store periodically monitors the availability of the Data Store (if specified) and if it changes, the current state of the Data Store will be modified.
- Once all the applications using the Data Store are exited, all connections to the Data Store will be closed.
