Detect and Repair

You can use the Help → Detect and Repair function to check the Personal Communications product integrity. The Detect and Repair operation performs a check on the installed Personal Communications files to determine whether the installation has been damaged. A subsequent repair is performed, if necessary.

Note: You should stop all active sessions or SNA nodes before starting the Detect and Repair function.

Check Restore my shortcuts if you want your original shortcuts restored. If you have modified your shortcuts since the original Personal Communications installation, you might want to keep your shortcuts intact—in that case, do not choose this option.

In order to use the Detect and Repair function, you must be authorized in the System Policy. You might be prompted to provide the original Personal Communications installation source.

Personal Communications Detect and Repair can be invoked from the Session Manager or from an emulator session window. Windows Installer repair of the Personal Communications product is invoked from the Windows® Add/Remove Programs function. Note the following differences in the operations.
