Issue with Termbase usage in in SDL Studio2014

Question

I can add term and it is saved in MultiTerm successfully, but when seeing the same term again later, it is not accounted for as match. 
 
 i.e. no red line shown across the term in Editor window, and term also not shown in Term Recognition window for that particular TU. 
 But when cross-checking this term in MultiTerm standalone, it is there alright. 
 This is observed in several terms, and the same terms repeatedly, across many termbase files. And in several cases, in a single TU, the Term Recognition window only displays most, but not all, of the present terms in Termbase, and this is an ongoing error seen on many installations of SDL in my office.

Hi Apichat, 
 
The problems you are encountering might be the result of working with a shared filebased termbase. These databases are not designed to be used by more than one user and irrespective of the potential issues caused by file locking the index files might not correctly reflect the content of the termbase as you work with it. 
 
If you want to share a single termbase across multiple users the effective way to do this is use a server based termbase controlled through SDL GroupShare.

Hi Apichat, 
 Unknown said: 1. Why do saved terms disappear overnight, since they were saved successfully the day before. 
 This one I have no idea... I think it's hard to comment on this because once it's in the termbase that's it. I don't see a mechanism for losing them. Perhaps it's related to the way you are sharing? But I don't really know... maybe someone else will have a good answer for this. 
 Unknown said: 2. Why do Term Recognition fails to recognize and display all the matching terms in Termbase respective to the active TU? It does show many, but still not all, and this applies to the same missing terms that fail to show up repeatedly across many TUs, despite the fact that they are already saved to sdltb. 
 This one I know about and it's a problem, along with many others, that have been resolved with MultiTerm 2015.

No worries on the questions... this is what the community is for! 
 
If you are a Studio user then you should upgrade to Studio 2015 if you wish to use Multiterm 2015. There are a lot of fixes for MultiTerm in the 2015 release, and support for all the new languages with W10.
