This function can be useful if reports with status INCO
are
detected. You can select report data areas to be checked for consistency.
The Cluster function can be deactivated.

Note:
Under BS2000, the
Check Spool File window provides additional
functions.
When you invoke this function, the following checks are performed for
each record with status In Use
which has a pointer to another
group:
Whether the group exists to which the record points:
If the group does not exist, the Check Spool File function issues a corresponding error message.
If the group exists, the check below is performed.
Whether the status of the record is equal to In Use
:
If the status is not equal to In Use, the Check Spool File function issues a corresponding error message.
If the status is equal to In Use
, the check below is
performed.

In case of an error, a protocol is written to the spool file. You will then be asked for the name of a logical printer.
When you invoke this function, the integrity of the clusters is checked.
Note:
Usage of clusters can be deactivated with
Function 30.5.
In this case, Function 40.2 cannot be invoked.
This function reads all objects and checks whether they belong to existing clusters. It also checks whether each object belongs to exactly one cluster.

You can choose whether you want to check the relationships (Option 1) or whether you want to recover them with or without confirmation (Options 2 and 3).
The following checks are performed for all three options:
First, a bottom-to-top check is performed. The check starts with physical printers. Next, all allocations, logical printers and user profiles are checked. However, you can specify that the check is to start with a specific object type. For example, when you specify logical printer as start object, only the relation between logical printers and user profiles is checked. For each object, a check is made whether it is referenced in one of the corresponding object types. If this is not the case, this object may be deleted.
Next, a top-to-bottom check is performed. The check starts with user profiles. A check is made whether the objects referenced in this object exist on the spool file. If not, this is either logged (see Option 1) or the object is modified (see Option 2 and Option 3).
Since this function causes a large number of Adabas calls, it should only be started when an error occurs (for example, unexplainable printouts on wrong devices). It is recommended that you first use Option 1 (check).
When you select this option, you can choose a start value for the bottom-to-top check in a window: printer(s), allocation table or logical printer(s).

The result of the check is printed. You are asked for the name of a logical printer.
When you select this option, you can choose a start value for the bottom-to-top check in a window: printer(s), allocation table or logical printer(s).
The relationship is checked. Objects that are not related to another object are deleted. Objects that refer to non-existing objects are modified. You have to confirm the deletion/modification for each object.
When you select this option, you can choose a start value for the bottom-to-top check in a window: printer(s), allocation table or logical printer(s).
The relationship is checked. Objects that are not related to another object are automatically deleted. Objects that refer to non-existing objects are automatically modified. You are not asked to confirm the deletion/modification for each object.
The spool server options you specify (see Function 30.5) result in a synchronization of the spool file. To prevent different spool servers that are currently working on the spool file from executing the same function, the spool server records the date and time when a function was executed. Before a spool server executes the same function once more, it checks whether the defined time interval has passed.
When you invoke Function 40.4, the Server Synchronization screen appears:

For each spool server option listed, you can delete the date and time of the last check, assign the current date and time, or delete the start value for the next object check.
The following line commands are available:

Reset the values in the Last Check fields to the
current date and time.

fields.
