Verify a DNA File Using the Command Line

You can verify the DNA files to detect a possible DNA file corruption.

To verify a DNA file using command line, open the command prompt and type the following command:

installation path\DNAExplorer.exe [/VQ|/VS] [/X] <DNA file path>
/VQ (Verify Quickest)

Attempts a basic open and also performs a checksum test on DNA files that were created with checksum information.

/VS (Verify Surest)

performs the same tests as /VQ and in addition verifies all file records stored in the DNA file to further ensure data integrity.

/X

Exits DMM Explorer after verification and returns any error resulting from the attempt to open the file given on the command line as the application's return code. A zero return code indicates success and any non-zero value indicates a Win32 error code.

Examples:

DNAExplorer.exe /VQ "c:\myFile.dna"

DNAExplorer.exe /VS /X "c:\myFile.dna"

DNAExplorer.exe /?
