Running vwverify

When you run the vwverify utility, all workflow database access is suspended, and all applications running within the isolated region will pause until the database verification completes. For this reason, FilNet recommends running the vwverify utility when the system is idle or lightly loaded.

The vwverify utility creates the following files in the directory where you start vwverify:

  • vwvfylog.txt: Log file of the vwverify process
  • vwvfyrec.txt: The records in each queue and roster
  • vwvfyact.txt: The actions taken by vwverify to fix the database discrepancies

To run vwverify

On the Process Engine, enter the following at the command prompt:

vwverify -r <isolated region> [-f] [-F] [-c] [-h]

Parameters

-f

Reports discrepancies and prompts for further action. If no parameters are specified, this is the default action.

-F

Reports discrepancies and automatically repairs the database.

-c Counts the queues and rosters in the database only. This is a faster, but less thorough, check of the database; with no repair option.
-h Displays a summary of command line parameters and terminates the vwverify utility.
-r <isolated region> Specifies the isolated region to examine.

See Verifying the workflow database for further information.
