Velox maintenance tools
Advanced tools can rewrite configuration or data and require backups, test-context use and change approval.
| Tool | Purpose/effect | Required checks |
|---|---|---|
| Resave modules | Loads and rewrites selected module serialisation | Full configuration backup; identified compatibility/repair reason; capture failures; reopen and test every affected type |
| Unused Modules / Check Usage | Reads relation/usage candidates | Results depend on current relation metadata; manually verify scripts, external callers and linked relationships before archive/delete |
| Sync Relations | Rebuilds module relationship metadata | Back up, run in controlled context, compare usage before/after and investigate lost/unexpected relations |
| Create All File Folders | Creates configured File Connection folders | Runs with interactive identity; validate effective paths and then service-account access/ACL separately |
| Update Passwords | Applies credential changes across selected scope | Protect input, record exact scope, back up, coordinate rotation and test all dependent runtime Connections/Transports |
| Send Outbound Transports Now | Prompts queued outbound processing | Record queue selection and reconcile receiver state; monitor one item before releasing a backlog |
| Create XSD | Infers schema from XML samples | Use sanitised representative samples; generated schema is a draft requiring standards/data-owner/security review |
| Expand/Contract EDI File | Transforms EDI presentation for inspection/use | Work on copies, verify separators/release/message version and byte-level output; do not overwrite sole source evidence |
| Convert PuTTY Key | Converts supported SSH key material | Use a protected working directory, validate output format/passphrase/ACL and securely remove temporary copies under policy |
Change procedure
- Identify the exact symptom and tool effect; do not run a broad utility experimentally in production.
- Back up affected configuration/files and record context, version, counts and owner approval.
- Use test/non-production first with a small scope.
- Capture results/errors, reopen affected modules and run representative runtime tests.
- Reconcile queue/files/external state and retain the change evidence.
The visible Create Transports utility is customer/scenario-specific and is not a general supported creation workflow. The inactive/unconfirmed Database Upgrade UI is not documented as a normal tool; use the approved upgrade runbook.
