Advice on Checklinks (GP 2015)

Posted on by Tracy Matthews 330

I'm looking for advice for when I run checklinks.  We will be running in a Test environment, also due to our companies Maintenance Process we WILL get a Prod backup before doing any work in Production.   I would like to know if WHEN we run checklinks on a company and we DO get errors are we supposed to run Checklinks again until the report runs clean?  I remember this as a recommendation from a few years back (GP 10 I think)  but I can not find any real documentation for running checklinks.  Also, do I run Reconciliation after I run checklinks automatically or only if the errors tell me to?

We are running checklinks on all Financials (no AA).

Does anyone have current MS recommendations or any experiences they'd like to pass on?   

Thanks,
Tracy

    Ahh - now that makes more sense.  Thanks for the update Tracy.  The safest then would be to run until the report runs clean.  For reconciliation - if it is not part of the recommended steps already provided to you - I would not add that time burden to your list.   Once your chart of accounts is updated - likely the reconciliation will be done to update the summaries at that point.

    I'd be running checklinks as part of our Vendors steps to prepare for changing our Chart of Accounts for upwards of 16 companies.

    Tracy,

    I guess the first question these days is - why are you running checklinks?  The database integrity checks for SQL are quite robust, so in my understanding checklinks is not really a routine thing like it was in the past.  You may want to review the following instead:  mbs.microsoft.com/.../MSD_GPRecommendedMaintenanceSQLDatabases
