28.2 Analyzing and Fixing Library and Document
Information
The Analyze/Fix Library option of Mailbox/Library Maintenance performs more library-specific
functions than Analyze/Fix Databases. For all options except Verify Library, all documents in each
of the selected library databases are checked. This can be a time-consuming process. Therefore, if
you intend to select more than one of the Analyze/Fix Library options, you can save time by
selecting each of them before clicking Run. This causes all selected options to be run against each
document, which is faster than running each option individually against all documents.
To validate library databases:

Structure: When a user experiences a problem that is related to the library databases, you
should perform a structure check. The structure check verifies the integrity of the databases and
reports the amount of space that could be recovered. If there is a structural problem, the
databases are rebuilt with free space reclaimed.
Index Check: If you select Structure, you can also select Index Check. An index check can be
time-consuming.
Contents: The library database (located in the gwdms directory of the post office) does not
contain documents. Documents are stored in the lib0000-FF directories. A contents check
analyzes references from libraries to documents.
Collect Statistics: If you selected Contents, the Collect Statistics option is available to collect
and display statistics about the library, such as the number and size of documents.
Fix Problems: This option tells Mailbox/Library Maintenance to fix any problems it finds.
Otherwise, Mailbox/Library Maintenance just reports the problems.
