This is mostly to help me remember these commands but I figured they might help someone else too. The information comes from this Technote.
This morning I got a helpdesk ticket indicating that a conference room was showing up as unavailable even though there were no reservation documents in the Room & Resource database that held the room.
By running the tell RnRMgr show roomname/sitename command on the server console I could see that clusbusy.nsf did indeed think there was a reservation for the times in question. So just to be safe I ran the following commands:
- tell RnRMgr check roomname/sitename
- tell RnRMgr validate roomname/sitename
I then ran the original tell RnRMgr show roomname/sitename command and verified that the orphaned reservation had been removed from the clusbusy.nsf. Then I tried to create a new reservation for that particular room resource for the time in question and this time it showed as available.
I have just come across this recent open mic:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27023671&aid=1
in which one of the slides mentions that the check should run after validate, something that the technote does not mention.
I did not find out why and looking at what each does, cannot understand why. Any idea?
I don’t know why. Maybe because the Validate command only looks at docs since the last time that command was run? Anyway, thanks for the link!
Hi Garrett!
I attended that session as well, and highly recommend it, even for some of us ‘old timers’…
Here more info on the session:

Take care! Keep the paint up, and the rubber down!
