Closing All Cellviews

You can close all open data using the Close and Purge Data form. The form checks for five types of data - cellviews, physical configuration, constraints, property bag (data.dm), and technology files (tech.db).

This form can display data that have lost connection to their physical files due to one of these reasons:

• A network failure, due to which data on the shared file servers becomes inaccessible
• Deletion of local data
• Renaming of local data

The form lets you purge such data from the virtual memory. It displays relevant warnings in CIW.

Instead of closing each cellview individually, you can close all cellviews at once as follows:

• In the CIW, choose File – Close Data.
  The Close and Purge Data Form appears.
  
  

If you do not have any cellviews open, the No Objects to Close prompt appears.

1. Choose how Virtuoso handles modified data on File – Close Data selection.
2. On the Close and Purge Data form, do one of the following:
   • Click All/ None on the form.
   • Click and drag to select a contiguous set of cellviews.
   • Control- click individual (noncontiguous) cellviews to select each one.
3. Click OK.
   If you have modified a cellview, the Save Cellview prompt appears.
   
   
   The cellviews you selected are closed and their data purged from virtual memory.
