We created a new Topobase plug-in for you! It's called 1-Click Maintenance and can be downloaded below.
The tool performs some very basic maintenance checks and if possible tries to fix the found issues.
As you will see, most of these checks can already be executed within the Topobase Client or Administrator, but not all of them in one single place. And that’s exactly the goal of this plug-in. I hope it can also help you maintaining your Topobase documents on a regular basis!
The tool is implemented as a plug-in for the Topobase Administrator and it works with the official Topobase 2010 version. The tool runs against any Topobase document, no matter which modules or extensions are applied. It also works against job-enabled and job-disabled documents.
But before you run the plug-in, please make sure no user is connected to this document. And make sure you have an up-to-date backup of your documents before you start fixing the issues.
You find all the detailed information about the tool and how to run it in the readme:
Maybe you know other pitfalls within a Topobase document which are not yet addressed by this tool? If yes, you will be able to implement new checks! I will share the full source code of this tool soon. Stay tuned!

This plugin works with Topobase 2009??
Thanks

Hi Andres
the plug-in has been developed for Topobase 2010 and therefore it is not working against Topobase 2009. But since I'll provide the source code it will be possible to back port it.
