SSSU Command Reference
CAPTURE VALIDATE
Syntax
CAPTURE VALIDATE <file_name>
CAPTURE VALIDATE checks the specified script file for modification by calculating its checksum and comparing the result against the checksum saved in the file. A script may have been modified (failed the CAPTURE VALIDATE command) but may still work. SSSU runs a script even if its checksum shows file modification.
Example
CAPTURE VALIDATE c:\reconfigure_sales_dr_step2.txt
This example determines whether the reconfigure_sales_dr_step2.txt file was modified.
Syntax
CAPTURE VALIDATE file_name
User functionality
CAPTURE VALIDATE is a switch that determines if a captured script text file has been edited and modified after it was captured. This allows the user to determine whether the script is a perfect capture of the existing system or if someone has modified it after it was created.
Note that the specified script is not executed by this command; the script is checked only to see whether it's “original” or not.
When a script is captured by the CAPTURE commands, a header is written at the front of the text file and a checksum is written at the end. If CAPTURE VALIDATE does not see a correct header, it reports that the script specified is not a
If and only if a correct header is found and the checksum matches, this command reports that the CAPTURE script specified is unmodified.
