Using the Consistency Check job sweep
You use the Consistency Check job sweep capability to check and help maintain storage area integrity.
With the Consistency Check job sweep you can:
- Validate storage areas
- Check the consistency between the metadata in the object store database and the files in the
selected storage areas.
Inconsistencies are listed in a validation report. - Display validation results
- Review the inconsistencies that were reported when the selected storage areas were validated.
You can view the results in the Sweep Results tab in the administration console.
You create a Consistency Check job sweep in the administration console for Content Platform Engine by defining a new sweep job. For more information, see Checking content consistency.
When you create a Consistency Check job sweep, you specify the target class to check. You can also enable subclass checking and failure reporting and define an effective start and end date for the job.
You can add filter expressions to a Consistency Check job sweep to specify which storage areas or time frames are of interest. Note that without a filter expression the job sweep checks every object.
