The files in the folder ‘C:\Synstar\data\csv’ are the results of  checks. They can be easily seen be using MS-Excel. Open MS-Excel and then use open (textfiles, delimited by tabs ) to load the file. Use the “AutoFilter” option on the first line, align the width of all columns and fix the first line in the window. This view of the file will be used in all following explications.  The ‘_nok’ files contain the assets with errors, the ‘_ok’ files all other assets.
The files in the folder ‘C:\Synstar\data\ca’ contain commands to solve erroneous assets by Unicenter commands but they have to be checked first (see explanations below).
The file ‘C:\Synstar\data\ check_names.txt’ is the log of the check program and contains additional information on check 2.
