VERIFY command
Format
fmsadmin VERIFY [FILE...] [PATH...] [options]
Description
Closes the specified databases (FILE), or all the hosted databases in the specified folders (PATH), then performs a consistency check when reopening them. Databases that fail the check are left closed. If no FILE or PATH is specified, closes and checks all hosted databases.
Note If you want to close and verify a specific file, you must type a space between any options and the filename or file ID. For example:
Command | Result |
fmsadmin verify -y Database | Closes and verifies only the specified file. |
fmsadmin verify -y | Closes and verifies all hosted files. |
Options
-m message, --message message
Specifies a text message to be sent to the
clients that are being disconnected.
-t seconds, --gracetime seconds
Specifies the total number of seconds to wait before forcing disconnection of clients. The default (and minimum) value is 90 seconds.
For example, if you type
fmsadmin verify --gracetime 120
clients see a dialog box immediately and can click Close Now or Cancel. If the client does not click a button, the file closes in 30 seconds. If the client clicks Cancel, the dialog box will reappear 45 seconds before the specified time limit (120 seconds). If the client clicks Close Now at this point, the file closes immediately. If the client clicks Cancel again, the file closes after another 45 seconds.
-f, --force
Forces a database to be closed without prompting clients. This option overrides the -t option.
