Process all archives
|
By default, EVSVR processes all the archives in the selected
storage data set. To select an individual archive, uncheck
and
then select an archive.
If there are a large number of archives, the dialog box displays
a form so that you can filter by archive name.

Date Range to Process
|
Do one of the following:
-
Use the default setting, which does not impose a date range.
-
Select a time unit in the Unit
box, and then specify the number of units in the Units box. For example, if you select Hour and 2,
EVSVR processes the items that were archived in the two hours
before the time that you start the EVSVR operation.
-
Select in
the Unit box, and then select
and specify
a date range in the boxes.
Note the following:
-
Whether you choose a date range depends on the severity of the
issues that you want to address. If you want to repair a
substantial number of items as part of a recovery procedure, it is
important not to set a date range. This allows EVSVR to repair as
many items as possible. On the other hand, setting a date range is
desirable if you want to process a handful of items or a known
range of items.
For example, suppose that a Repair operation has failed to
repair a number of items. By repeating the operation against a date
range that includes the failed items, you may be able to identify
the cause of the problem quickly. If you were to repeat the
operation without specifying a date range, it could take days to
complete.
For a non-critical operation, it is usually desirable to choose
a small date range - especially if you select a data set with a
large number of archived items. This may be the case, for example,
if you want to perform a daily Verify operation to validate the
last week's archived items only.
-
When it performs an operation that scans a CIFS partition, EVSVR
assumes that the original creation dates of the folders are
maintained. If this is not the case because, for example, you use
backup software that does not restore the original dates of the
folders, date range selection may give unexpected results.

|
Operation to perform
|
Select an operation type (Report, Verify, or Repair), and then
set the required options.
|
|
Logfile
|
Specify the following:
-
The folder in which to save the output log file. By default,
EVSVR saves the file in the Reports\EVSVR subfolder of the Enterprise Vault
program folder.
-
The name of the log file. If you check , EVSVR uses the
default file name, which is as follows:
EVSVR_yyyymmddhhmmss.Log
where yyyymmddhhmmss specifies the date and time
at which EVSVR created the log file.
If the log file already exists, EVSVR appends the new
information to it.

|
Threads
|
Specify the thread count for EVSVR operations that can benefit
from using multithreading. The maximum is 16. You may want to try a
thread count that is double the number of processors that the
computer has.
Specify the thread priority as Normal, Low, or High.
If you set the thread priority to High for the Repair operation
RecreateMissingDBReferences, EVSVR automatically resets the
priority level to Normal. This is designed to stop potential
problems with resource scheduling and thread contention. Although
intermittent, these problems can lead to errors when EVSVR tries to
repair certain database references.
