Thank you for your feedback

I'm in the process of performing a server migration and I found FimsSqlViews.exe in NPO\found\FIMS. I'm not sure of its function, what is it and what does it do?

Answer:

It is used in Custom\sqlviews.bat when rebuilding views, or during a Fieldmaker commit process, running the SQL widths checker update or a FIMS upgrade.
It was a batch file that was converted to an executable.
It is only used if the client has or ever tried using complex passwords in FIMS. If they had never used complex passwords then it isn’t used.
The purpose of the exe is to hide the -password parameter passed to jvmstart.exe for the FIMS database.
