  2. Run the following command:
    • For Windows:
      db_checksum_tool.cmd [-d] [-i [1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5]] [-r [wfd | map | schema | sii | template]] [-o <output file>] [-g]
    • For Unix/Linux:
      ./db_checksum_tool.sh [-d] [-i [1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5]] [-r [wfd | map | schema | sii | template]] [-o <output file>] [-g]
