Process Engine (PE) provides the vwverify utility to verify the workflow database. Using vwverify, you can:
CAUTION Use the vwverify utility only when instructed by or with the assistance of FileNet support personnel.
In order to function correctly, the vwverify utility must be able to read all workflow definitions and configuration in the workflow database. The logon under which vwverify runs must have read-all capability.
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, FileNet recommends running the vwverify utility when the system is idle or lightly loaded.
The vwverify utility verifies workspace references in queue entries for accuracy. Each queue and each workflow roster is scanned for references to work items. The resulting list of work item references is then sorted and checked for a one-to-one correspondence.
If the -f or -F parameters are specified, the vwverify utility adds, deletes, or updates the inconsistent database records as follows:
The vwverify utility creates the following files in the directory where you start vwverify:
To run vwverify
CAUTION FileNet recommends that you back up your workflow database prior to running vwverify.
On the PE server, enter the following at the command prompt:
vwverify -r <isolated region> [-f] [-F] [-c] [-h] -Y <username>+<password>
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. |
-Y |
Specifies the username and password in the format <username>+<password>. The user must belong to the Process Engine Administrator Group. |
