Reconcile
A reconcile file is generated as part of the Compress process and packed with the 7ZIP file.
Why
When transferring or cloning documenmts to another location, you will want to verify that the same documents have been restored unaltered at the destination.
When
After the documents have been expanded and restored at the target the next step to perform is reconcile the restored documents against the reconcile file.
How
The archive file and therefore the restore includes a reconciliation file in the root folder. The reconciliation file is a CSV formatted file listing all the documents and associated metadata.
To perform the reconciliation you execute the Compare-Peter function.
Compare-Peter
-RestoreFolder <String>
-ReconcileFile <String>
-RootFolder <String>
-ExtendedCheck
-LogPath <String>
What
The reconciliation checks:
- Path to the document
- Name of the document
- Size of the document
- Hash of document
- Creation date and time of the document
The document last update and time is not checked because the value will reflect the date and time of restore.
The reconciliation summary is displayed in the terminal and the log wil lhave more information.
If any errors are listed, please investigate the discrepancy.
Note: For some restored documents the creation date and time may have a variation of +/- 2 seconds and this is ignored by the reconciliation process.
Finale
Once you have reconciled the documents, you have completed the process.
