  • AREAFIX %RESCAN

    From Cozmo@FREEWAY to All on Mon Feb 22 19:30:51 2021
    I'm sending a %RESCAN D=180 to AREAFIX but the results are: Result: Rescanned
    0 messages in 20 bases. Isn't that command suppose to export messages going back 180 days from all the message groups?

    Hi,

    I sent a rescan several hours ago and did not receive a response. I'll send a couple more commands and see how I go.

    Probably cos nothing has been posted within the last 180 days :)

    Try trying to grab the last number of messages rather than days. I usually go for a nice number like 5000 to seed my echoes with whatever they can get.

    Hi Cozmo!

    Depending on the implementation you might need to add a * to select all areas.

    Richard,

    According to the AREAFIX help file %rescan will rescan all linked echomail area and export the last 250 messages unless the optional D or R command is also specifed.

    I don't know why it's not working. Seems like I'm using the correct commands.
