17.2.5 Validating the Catalog
Over time, inconsistencies can develop in the catalog as links are broken, users are deleted, or NFS file system issues are encountered. These inconsistencies can eventually lead to incorrect behavior, such as the inability to edit an agent's recipient list. You can periodically take the production system offline and validate the catalog, to be informed of and to take corrective action on inconsistencies.
This section contains the following topics about validating the catalog:
- Section 17.2.5.1, "Process: Validating the Catalog"
