Repair Company Data in TallyPrime | Rewrite

If there any issues in your company data, then it might come in the way of your daily operations and also hinder data activities like backup or split. For such a scenario, TallyPrime comes with a useful tool that will help you recover your data. The Repair feature checks your masters and transactions for any issues, and recovers the data through the data rewrite process. The percentage of data recovery will depend on the nature of the issue.

Repair Company Data

1. Press F1 (Help) > Troubleshooting > Repair.
   
   Note: If you press Alt+F3 to open a Company and see the status Repair Required against it, then you will need to press Enter on it and follow the procedure of repair. 
   
2. Select the company that you want to repair and press Enter. 
   Note: If the company has TallyVault enabled, then you will need to enter the password.
   
   
   
   
   When you select a Company, you will see the different screens, based on the following scenarios:
   
   1. The Company data belongs to:
      1. TallyPrime Edit Log Release 2.1 onwards.
      2. TallyPrime Release 2.1 onwards in which Edit Log is enabled.
      3. TallyPrime Release 2.1 onwards in which Edit Log was never enabled.
         
         
   2. The Company data belongs to TallyPrime Release 2.1 with Edit Log disabled. However, at some point in time, the Edit Log was enabled.
      
3. Press C (Configure), if you want to configure the backup options before repairing.
4. Pres R (Repair) to continue.

After the repair is complete, your company data is now ready to be used in TallyPrime.

In case of incomplete recovery, you will get the following message: 

It is important to note that if you are using TallyPrime Edit Log Release 2.1 or TallyPrime Release 2.1 with Edit Log enabled or their successors, the damage of data, for instance, damage of some transactions and masters, will also remove the Edit Logs created for those masters and transactions. 

Moreover, whenever you repair a Company data of TallyPrime Edit Log Release 2.1 or TallyPrime Release 2.1 with Edit Log enabled, then the action of data repair will get recorded as a log under Company. To know more about this, refer to Activities Affecting Edit Log.

Repair Newer Version Data to Open in Earlier Release

You may want to load a data from a newer release to an older release. This scenario may occur in a multi-user environment where some of the users may be working on an older release and they may need to use your data from the newer release.

In such a case, you will need to follow the steps below. 

1. Take a backup of the newer version data. 
2. Repair the data.
3. Load the data in the older release. 

Thereafter, the data will be compatible in the older release in which you can continue to use it for your business records.

Zero Command Repair

If you are unable to recover your data using the Repair feature, then you can try Zero Command Repair. This will perform a deeper scan of your data and attempt to make it usable.

1. Start menu > Run, and enter Tally.exe followed by <file path> <data path> 0. For example:
   If the data is in the application folder, then use “D:TPR 2.1tally.exe” “D:data” 0. 
   If the data folder and the application folder are in different location, then use “D:TPR 2.1tally.exe” “D:data” 0.
   
2. Click OK. TallyPrime will open in the Zero Command mode.

Now you can proceed to repair your company data using the steps described in the above section.

Repair/Re-install Application

2. Select Repair or Re-install, as needed.
   TallyPrime prompts you to open Setup Manager for the selected action. Select Yes or press Enter to proceed.
3. Depending on the selected action, your application is repaired or re-installed.
