Guidelines for Running Day End Processes

You should run Day End every day, most likely at the end of the day before you leave. As you run Day End, follow these guidelines:

Run Day End once to update all Horizon processes associated with a single database.

If your library uses more than one database, you must run Day End for each database.

Run Day End from only one of your locations. Once started, Day End automatically completes its processes for all other locations on your system. Individual locations do not need to run Day End.
Day End must be open on a workstation either as a full screen or as an icon to run. Set up a startup service to include Day End at the workstation that runs Day End. When you log on the to workstation, Day End will be ready to run at its start time.
Do not turn off the power to the workstation where you run Day End.
Run Day End while your library is closed, or, if your library is always open, at the least busiest time. This will avoid slowing down other Horizon applications. However, even if Day End is not completed for the previous day, you can work with other processes on the same workstation while Day End finishes.
Run Day End before 12:00 midnight. Each new Day End cycle begins every day at 12:00 midnight. If you run Day End after 12:00 midnight for the previous day, Day End compiles no statistics for the previous day.
