In TestStand 2.0, will a record be lost if an Oracle database server is down? Can it be written to a file to be entered later?

[Brett @ RA]

I currently have TestStand 2.0 setup to log information to an Oracle 8i server located on a network. Everything works correctly; however, if I lose the network connection, what happens to the database record that is,or would be, created? Is it lost? Can it be saved to a file and entered into the database at a later date?

TestStand has no built in mechanism for handling a database that is offline. The logging sequence will generate an error if it is unable to write. You could modify the sequence to trap the error, write to a backup file, and then transfer the records when the database is back on line. What we're implementing here is to always write to a local database and an ActiveX component running in the background transfers records to the network database when it is available.
