Database integrity is handled on a different level. |

In the end every website based on CumulusMX is data driven and as a result the data needs to be OK. If there are errors in the datafiles - such as wrongly formatted dates, comma's where there should be points or a sudden change of separators because the users changed Locale without understanding the ultimate effects - it is very likely that CumulusUtils aborts, crashes or simply displays erroneous results. Therefore an error handling has been built into the reading of the datafiles ([[Dayfile.txt]], the [[Standard_log_files|monthly logfiles]] and the [[Air_Link_Log.txt|AirLink logfile]]) and you can run CumulusUtils such that only the data is read and the possible errors are reported. |
|||
== Operation == |
|||
This command can only be given on its own: when ready CumulusUtils exits and the logfile needs to be studied. The following command is given: |
|||
utils/bin/cumulusutils.exe CheckOnly |
|||
== Output == |
|||
This command has no output in itself (see Inner working below). |
|||
== Inifile parameters == |
|||
The command has one parameter by itself in the General section. ''IgnoreDataErrors'' plays a role. |
|||
[General] |
|||
IgnoreDataErrors=true | false (true is default, see below) |
|||
== Inner working == |
|||
The general parameter ''IgnoreDataErrors'' regulates if CumulusUtils stops on first error or whether it continues reading all datafiles. If you have a lot of datafiles, it may be opportune to set this variable to false in the operational situation so it does not run to completion in case it finds a data error (e.g. after a power failure). |
|||
This command has no output in itself but possible data errors are reported in the logfile. |
|||
It is then up to the user to either correct these or accept the errors as unavoidable and acceptable. |
|||
The following errors are detected: |
|||
#Overflow errors in the numbers |
|||
#Formatting errors in dates and numbers |
|||
#Old datafile formats where certain fields do not exist. |
|||
In all cases you get a message of the form (may differ slightly): |
|||
{m} fail: {e.Message} |
|||
{m}: in field nr {FieldInUse} ({FieldInUse-Name}) |
|||
{m}: line is: {line} |
|||
This message gives you field name, filename and line number in the datafile where the error occurred. |
