The reasons for this were some early bugs in the feature, and customers who manipulated the values in the lists outside of the ExtraView GUI. This page describes a stand-alone tool named <span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">checkAliases<\/span> that will verify the consistency of the aliases and will optionally correct any problems found. The utility is found in the directory named <span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">WEB-INF\/data<\/span>. Aliased lists consist of an original field with a display type of list or popup, which can be edited by the GUI and one or more alias lists that should have identical contents. If the aliased list is found to be different than the original list, the utility reports them as different. The <span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">-sync<\/span> option will cause the tool to fix the lists to be consistent. Consistency is imposed by adding values, where needed, to make the lists have the same content. This means that both the original list and any aliased list will have values added, if they are missing from the super set of all values.<\/p>\n<h3>\n\tMicrosoft Windows<\/h3>\n<p>&#8211; run the <span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">checkAliases.bat<\/span> file with arguments JAVA_HOME, TOMCAT_HOME and EV_BASE.<\/p>\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">checkAliases.bat C:\\ExtraView\\jre1.7.0_67 C:\\apache-tomcat-7.0.55 C:\\apache-tomcat-7.0.55\\webapps\\evj<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If any errors are reported, run again with the additional argument <span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">-sync<\/span> to correct the errors. &#8211; run the <span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">checkAliases.bat<\/span> file with arguments JAVA_HOME, TOMCAT_HOME and EV_BASE. <span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">-sync<\/span> to fix any problems found.<\/p>\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">checkAliases.bat C:\\ExtraView\\jre1.7.0_67 C:\\apache-tomcat-7.0.55 C:\\apache-tomcat-7.0.55\\webapps\\evj -sync<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>\n\tLinux<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\tEdit the <span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">checkAliases.sh<\/span> file to set JAVA_HOME and TOMCAT_HOME for your filesystem<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\tRun the <span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">checkAliases.sh<\/span> file with argument <span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">evj<\/span> where <span class=\"fixedWidthFont\">evj<\/span> is the name of your webapps folder.
