TCHECK Examples
The following examples show how you can use TCHECK to check your Base
TRANSFER data files:
CLEANSESSIONSONLY
RUN TCHECK CLEANSESSIONSONLY TRUE
This run deletes all sessions and the contents of session-related folders, like the
WASTEBASKET. It automatically corrects any errors that it encounters without
recourse to the operator. This is the least time-consuming TCHECK option to run.
CHECKALL
RUN TCHECK AUTOFIXERRORS FALSE, CHECKALL TRUE
This run checks the consistency of the entire TRANSFER database. If TCHECK
encounters inconsistencies, it will ask the operator for confirmation before
committing the corrections to the database. This is the most time-consuming
TCHECK option to run.
CHECKDEPOTS
RUN TCHECK CHECKDEPOTS TRUE, CHECKITEMS 1000
This run checks the consistency of the file that holds correspondent-depot names,
group-depot names, folder names, distribution-list names, and the first 1000 items
in the folder file. It automatically corrects any errors that it encounters without
recourse to the operator. If this run is repeated, it rechecks the depot-name files
and processes the next 1000 items in the folder file.
CHECKITEMS
RUN TCHECK CHECKITEMS TRUE, AUTOSTARTITEM FALSE
This run checks the consistency of items from the folder file. The operator is given
the opportunity to specify the ID of the first item and number of items to be
checked. It automatically corrects any errors that it encounters without further
recourse to the operator. This run can be used to check a single item by specifying
the ID of the item and a count of 1.
