Overview of Checking Your SAS Software Depot

SAS provides a utility with which you can verify the integrity of your SAS Software Depot. The SAS Software Depot Checker Utility scans your depot and identifies any missing files. For each file that it finds, the depot checker attempts to validate its size, checksum, and date-and-time stamp.
The depot checker attempts to fix any problems that it encounters and lists the results of its various validation tests. You have the option of printing the results, saving them to a file, or viewing them in a web browser.
