1.   After LIFESPAN ABLE has been run, it is recommended that the LIFESPAN Validation program is executed, to check that the storage directories and database files are consistent.

2.   You need to create a number of storage directories for your new LIFESPAN Process.

3.   You may put the storage directory anywhere on the host system you like.

4.   The first thing you must do is to assign any system-wide logical names required by the process, eg.

5.   New storage directories may be created at any time.

6.   Assuming that you have used logical names, moving a storage directory is easy.

7.   Your normal incremental backup regime is adequate for the storage directories -- LIFESPAN will detect any corruptions in here and demand a good copy from the LIFESPAN Manager.

8.   Therefore, if you give LIFESPAN a physical pathname, you may NEVER move that storage directory without the assistance of SST Technical Support.

9.   In Phase I, for each module known to the LIFESPAN database the corresponding file is checked within the storage directories.
