In Concordance, database administrators can either scan or scan and repair the .trk file. The TRK Maintenance Tool scans all tags in the currently open database and can also be used to clean up SQLite table entries in the .trk file (e.g., broken links or orphaned entries).
Each time the TRK Maintenance Tool runs the scan only or repair/scan option, it generates a .csv file report that is saved in the database directory. The TRK Maintenance Tool report includes the following information:
•Full path and name of the .trk file
•Number of errors found
•Number of orphaned tags
•The name of each orphan tag in the file and the number of documents containing each tag
•Number of missing tag links
•Total number of tags
•The name of each tag in the file and the number of documents containing each tag
•Total number of documents tagged
The TRK Maintenance Tool, like indexing, is an exclusive Concordance process that requires all users, except the database administrator, to be logged out of the database when the process runs.

The TRK Maintenance Tool is designed to run on individual Concordance databases. The tool does not run on concatenated database sets. |
