2.4 Diagnosing Synchronization Problems with MCheck

Although log files provide useful information about the functioning of the Mobility Service, they might not help you determine when data is not synchronizing as expected.

The MCheck utility compares Mobility system data with GroupWise data. When a discrepancy is detected, MCheck provides a recommendation for resolving the problem.

IMPORTANT:This utility is intended to be used under the direction of Novell Support.

You can use MCheck to perform the following actions:

Gather configuration settings for your Mobility system.
Verify that the contents of the GroupWise Address Book have synchronized to the Mobility system.
Verify that the contents of a GroupWise user’s mailbox have synchronized to the Mobility system.
Remove a user that was originally added using the Data Synchronizer Mobility Pack software to either the GroupWise Connector or the Mobility Connector, but not both.

To run MCheck:

In a terminal window on the Mobility server, become root by entering su - and the root password.
Change to the following directory:
```
/opt/novell/datasync/tools/mcheck
```

Run the following command:

python mcheck.pyc

The main MCheck menu displays.

Type the number for the action that you want to perform.

View the MCheck log file for results and recommendations.

A log file for each action is created in the following directory:

/opt/novell/datasync/tools/mcheck/logs

Action	Log File Name
Gather configuration settings	mobConfiguration_dateTtime.log
Verify the GroupWise Address Book	sab_dateTtime.log
