EXEMPLES

# temip_ds_repair /var/kits/temip/aOP_CT1

NOTES

Datastore repairing may not be the better solution when other related files are damaged too.  To get a global checking of related files, apply  temip_check command to the group to which belongs the corrupted datastore. 

Depending of actual damages, repair process may not succeed or produce a datastore with less records than the original one or, even with no record at all.  It may happen that low-level tool used to scan datastore c-isam structure get lost and provoke a segmentation fault with a core dump built. Such a situation is generally due to a datastore that is highly damaged and cannot be repaired or even acceeded.  In these cases, the only solution is to restore the datastore from a previously built saveset. Refer to temip_backup command to get information about saveset building.  When restore operation is limited to a datastore,  temip_restore_one_oc, or temip_restore_one_log commands can be used to perform the operation.  Otherwise, temip_backup command has to be used with either -restore option, or -recover option, set and applied to the group to which belongs the corrupted datastore.
