crossTank Maintenance

The crossTank Maintenance Wizard enables the maintenance of the stock of crossTank entries. For this purpose, the wizard features a number of different mass operations that can be executed either for the entire crossTank data stock or for part of it.

Tip

Before you modify your crossTank data with the crossTank Maintenance Wizard, we recommend backing up the crossTank database. Moreover, carefully review the possible consequences before applying the changes, e.g. by making the changes on a test system first.

Tip

Depending on the size of the crossTank database, mass operations may take up to several hours. Therefore, mass operations should, if possible, take place at times when Across is not subject to a high workload and should be performed directly on the computer on which the Across Server is installed.

Attention

Please note that you need to have the appropriate rights.

By default, the supervisor is responsible for this task.

Apart from these mass operations, a preview function is available for ascertaining how many and which crossTank entries are affected by the selected language and filter settings.

By selecting All languages as source and/or target language, you can determine that the mass operation is to be carried out simultaneously for all source and/or target languages.

Possible Actions

Action	Description
Changing Attributes	Delete, change or add attributes of crossTank entries, modify the status of crossTank entries, and reset the usage count of crossTank entries.
Delete crossTank entries	Delete crossTank entries related to a specific subject or a specific user.
Clean crossTank entries with multiple translations ¹	Automatically clean crossTank entries with multiple translations in one target language or export respective source segments for post-processing as an XML file.
Split multi-value attributes in crossTank entries	Split crossTank entries with an attribute with several values into crossTank entries with one attribute value each.
Remove sentence duplicates	Remove sentence duplicates from crossTank.
Delete sentence duplicates by text	Delete sentence duplicates of a translation unit.
Remove translation duplicates ¹	Remove translation duplicates (identical crossTank entries with the same source and target segments) from crossTank.
Support action: Count sentence duplicates ²	Detect the number of existing sentence duplicates for support purposes.
Support action: Count translation duplicates ²	Detect the number of existing translation duplicates for support purposes.

Additionally, you can use the option Consider crossTank entries with different status as translation duplicates. With this option, crossTank entries with different statuses will also be considered as translation duplicates (e.g. a translation with the Released status and a translation with the Smartly inserted status). While deleting the duplicates, the status of the most recently added translation unit will be preserved.

These actions only need to be executed at the request of the Across support desk and merely serve support and analysis purposes.

The determined values are approximate values.
