About this task
The CheckInfo program first checks the system disk for the proper files and proper file size.
If discrepancies are discovered, the program will report what is wrong. The program will halt, and not check the SaveInfo media for proper file structure.
If the SaveInfo structure is valid, the program will automatically check the contents of the SaveInfo media.
Procedure
- Ensure that the system software is running and active on the host computer.
- Insert the SaveInfo media into the host computer.
- Navigate to the Service Desktop and open a C shell.
- Log in as root by typing su - [Enter].
The password is
operator.
Note: It is possible that the customer changed the default password. If you cannot log in, contact the customer for the correct password.
- Change the directory to the bin directory by typing cd/usr/local/bin [Enter].
- Start the verification by typing checkINFO [Enter]. This command is case sensitive. There are three methods to execute the checkINFO command:
- checkINFO performs a check on both the system disk and SaveInfo media. The program will not perform a check on the SaveInfo media if issues are found on the system disk.
- checkINFO -pre performs a check on the system disk only.
- checkINFO -post performs a check on the SaveInfo media only.
Result
First, the program will ensure the files on the host scanner, that are normally written to a SaveInfo media, are present and not corrupted. Next, it will check the saved information on media to match what is on the system.
If issues are found, a message lists the files that need to be moved or fixed in order for the SaveInfo to properly archive to the media.
- If needed, correct any issues noted with the SaveInfo data on the system disk.
Issues must be corrected in order to successfully transfer data to the SaveInfo media.
Potential causes for failures are excessive file size (greater than 40 mB) or “special characters” such as *(&$#@ in the character string that may have been used when customers created protocols.
- If needed discuss any issues with the customer and attempt to fix the offending files, or move them to a temporary directory before starting SaveInfo.
Example
As an example, if the file
/usr/g/protocol/site/head/noggin scan is reported corrupted and it is not possible to fix, you will need to move it.
- Create a temporary directory: mkdir /usr/g/temp [Enter].
- Move the file: mv /usr/g/protocol/site/head/noggin scan /usr/g/temp [Enter].
- Run SaveInfo
