The ccm archive_check command checks archived data to ensure that it is readable.
Run the ccm archive_check command if your site ran Rational Synergy on 6.x, or 7.0 with ccm_copy_tools, or runs 7.1 without using ccm_copy_tools. See "Checking check archive contents" on page 14.
Rational Synergy users fall into one of the following categories. Regardless of the category, after a site has run a complete archive conversion, the GNU and the BSD archiving tools are not used. Also, the ccm archive_check command is no longer required.
Run ccm archive_check to ensure your existing GNU archives from 6.x are readable by the BSD archiver in 7.0 and 7.1.
If your site used ccm_copy_tools in Synergy 7.0 to copy the GNU archivers, your site might have old GNU archives from 6.x and might also have new GNU archives produced by the copied archiver in 7.0. If you decide not to copy the GNU archiver forward to 7.1, the BSD archiver is used to read these GNU archives. Use ccm archive_check to ensure that the archives are readable.
There is no need to run ccm archive_check in the following situations:
These sites might have a mix of GNU, BSD, and 7.1 archives. However, each archive is read by the corresponding tool, so there is no need to run ccm archive_check.
These sites have only BSD and 7.1 archives. Because there are no GNU archives, there is no need to run ccm archive_check.
These sites have only 7.1 archives. There are no GNU archives, so there is no need to run ccm archive_check.
