Content Consistency Checker Tool
The main Content Consistency Checker Tool window provides areas that allow you to specify the domain and storage area to be checked, as well as commands that allow you to perform the main Content Consistency Checker functions.
Domain

Once you have successfully tested the connection, the Content Consistency Checker Tool diaglog displays the domain to which you are connected and allows you to change that domain.

Click the Switch Domain button to display the Select Domain dialog and change the domain.
Storage area table
To run the Content Consistency Checker, you must first select a storage area or areas to check. On the main Content Consistency Tool window, select one or more storage areas listed for the selected object store. To select or de-select individual storage areas, click the name of the
storage area once. The selected storage area is highlighted.
The storage area table lists five values for each storage area displayed.
- Name
- The display name of each storage area, preceded by an icon identifying it as a fixed storage area, a file storage area, or a database storage area.
- Object Store
- The display name of the object store to which this storage area is assigned.
- Content Elements
- The number of content elements in the storage area at the time the Content Consistency Checker was launched.
- Date Last Checked
- The date and time that Content Consistency Checker validation was last run on the storage area.
- Result
- The result of the last Content Consistency Checker validation run on the storage area. Results include Completed, Interrupted, and Unknown. A result of "Interrupted" indicates that the validation was stopped before completion. If you select a storage area that was previously interrupted, you are asked whether you would like to validate this storage area again or not. If you choose to validate the storage area again, the previous information is cleared and the entire storage area is validated again.
NOTE The
data displayed in the Date Last Checked and Result columns is retrieved from the runtime workspace area of the computer where the Consistency Checker validation was last run. If the Consistency Checker was last run on another workstation, the current workstation will not have information on that run, and will mark the two values as Unknown.
