- Thanks, I got that straightened out. Now, I can't get the basemanager to validate. I go into a
- shell and go to the thor/bin directory and type: /basemanager validate BBS1
-
- BBS 1 is the directory where the "bad" files are. However, they are in the "data" directory
- and Thor tells me it is setting the "validation flags" but can't find "BBS1". If I
- start the command "basemanager..." from within the "data"directory, the command still
- doesn't work???
-
- Any suggestions?
