: Supports a secure workflow by performing read-only analysis first and creating automatic backups before any changes are committed.
To understand the value of the utility, you must understand Act!’s architecture. Modern Act! versions (v15 and above) use a SQL Server backend (either full SQL Server or SQL Express). The database consists of two primary files:
The file location varies by Act! version:
By following these guidelines and best practices, you can effectively use the wwtagdbrepair utility to maintain the integrity and accuracy of your World Wide Tagging Database.
The is a specialized diagnostic and maintenance tool used to identify and fix corruption within AVEVA InTouch (formerly Wonderware) tagname dictionaries. It is primarily employed when an InTouch application fails to open in WindowMaker , or when the system reports "Failed to open tag source" errors due to inconsistent metadata or broken record references. Core Capabilities
tag databases. It is typically used when an application fails to open the tag dictionary or displays errors indicating the database is corrupted. InSource Solutions Prerequisites Backup First
Unlike the built-in "Check and Repair" function found inside the Act!

It is the final line of defense before resorting to a full database restore or third-party recovery services.
Strongly discouraged. Canceling mid-repair via Ctrl+C will leave the database in an inconsistent state, requiring a full restore.
: Used primarily for forcing tag updates or troubleshooting live communication drivers rather than repairing static database files.
By running this utility, administrators can ensure that the tagging database remains up-to-date and accurate, which helps prevent errors and inconsistencies in tagging data.
: These legacy utilities, accessed via the InTouch Application Manager , export tags to a CSV file for manual editing in Microsoft Excel.
