Cause

This message is displayed if the data that you are backing up is damaged.

Solution

1. Open the TallyPrime data folder, and copy the company folder to a different location. For example, if your data folder is D:TallyPrimedata100010, then copy 100010 to a different location.
2. Open the company folder in the TallyPrime data folder, and compare the sizes of the files Company.1800
   and CmpSave.1800. If there is a difference in size, then:
   • Delete Company.1800, and make a copy of CmpSave.900 in the same folder.
   • Rename CmpSave – Copy.1800 as Company.1800, as shown below:
     
     
3. Repair the data.

Cause:

This error may occur while opening TallyPrime in the following scenarios:

1. TallyPrime data files (such as .tsf or .900/.1800 files) are locked by another process, such as third-party backup software or any other application that accesses the TallyPrime data files. At the same time, TallyPrime attempts to store the data to the database, but it fails.
2. Since the Ransomware protection feature is enabled, the antivirus software blocks access to the TallyPrime data.

Resolution:

1. Avoid accessing the TallyPrime database by copying or double-clicking the .tsf files.
2. Schedule backups when no user is accessing the TallyPrime data.
3. Exclude .tsf files from the Exclusion menu of backup tool.
4. Add TallyPrime data files to the Exception list of the antivirus software’s Ransomware protection feature.

Cause:

This error occurs due to corrupted data files, while accessing data over a network in a multi-user environment. The data may be corrupted due to network fluctuation or when different types of network such as LAN and WIFI are used in the multi-user environment.

1. Click the Search icon appearing on the Taskbar of your computer.
2. Search for Command Prompt and press Enter.
3. In the Command Prompt, type ping tallynet.tallyenterprise.com and press Enter.
   
   If you can see repeated requests getting typed in the screen, then your request is not reaching the server. In such a case, you can reconnect with the network by connecting with the IP service provider or System Admin to resolve the network connectivity issue.

Scenario 3:

1. Click the Search icon appearing on the Taskbar of your computer.
2. Search for Command Prompt and press Enter.
3. In the Command Prompt, type nslookup tallynet.tallyenterprise.com and press Enter.
   
   You can see your IP Address. Display of your IP Address implies that the command has successfully reached tallynet.tallyenterprise.com, and the communication is happening .

Cause 1:

Memory consumption increases when loading a company, primarily due to the higher data size. This is also influenced by the company’s features and the volume of data stored in that company. For example, if a company has 20,000 stock items and 5,000 stock categories, loading the company will use more memory because it checks the balance of each stock item against its category.

Resolution:

Delete the Masters of the company if there are no other masters or transactions using it and try loading the company again in TallyPrime. In TallyPrime, you can also view and delete multiple unused masters at once.

Cause 2:

There is no outward flow (sales, stock transfers, and so on) but only inward flow (purchase, receipt notes, and so on).

Resolution:

TallyPrime offers you varied costing methods that will help you in determining the value of the stock in hand. Change the stock valuation method to some other valuation method instead of FIFO.

Cause 3:

Existing customisations require additional validation while loading company.

Resolution:

Try to load the company after deselecting the account TDLs/Add-ons and disabling the local TDLs.

Cause 4:

Variations in system configurations between the Server and Node systems, Network topology (LAN or WIFI), Network or Communication speed between server to node and vice versa, Network Cable type, and so on.

Resolution:

To resolve issues related to system configurations, ensure that you use the same system configurations across all the nodes. For example, if a computer has 4 GB RAM with 2.1 GHz processor with Windows 10 Operating System, same configuration has to be used across all the nodes.

Cause 1:

Low bandwidth or unstable network communication between the client and server. 

Resolution:

Ping speed variation should be minimal, ideally between 1 ms and 3 ms which is the minimum accepted network variation. Ensure that the network speed is always uniform between the client and the server systems. Any difference in the link speed affects the transfer of data between the client and server system.

For example, when the link speed is 100 Mbps, and the transfer rate is 56 Mbps, the performance of data over the network will be slow. You also need to ensure that the network speed should be 60 Mbps from node to server and server to node systems.

To view the link speed:

1. In your computer, right-click on your bottom bar and select Task Manager.
   
2. Select Performance. The graph displays the network and link speed for the system.
   
   
3. Check Network latency from Command Prompt.
   1. Click the Search icon appearing on the Taskbar of your computer.
   2. Search for Command Prompt and press Enter.
   3. Write the command ping server name -t and press Enter.
      
      This instant communication displays ‘Request timed out’ which means you will not be able to access data or your data access will be slow.
