Query dataset UIDs for creating bounding boxes

Run the create_or_update_bbox_and_tso utility in the following format to query the database and find out how many bounding boxes need to be processed for the entire database:

create_or_update_bbox_and_tso -u={USER_ID} -p={PASSWORD} -g={GROUP} -translation_mode=NXBBOXTOBBOX -mode=query -output_dir=%TC_TMP_DIR%

This generates the createOrUpdateBBoxAndtso_report{%ID%_0.log} file.

Check the output directory for the report log file.

Each report has 50,000 UID entries. Till the query is completed, reports are generated and the report names are incremented by 1.

An ideal report reads like this:
