reset_user_home_folder
Repairs corruption that may occur when deleting a user from the database by redirecting the user's home folder, mailbox folder, and Newstuff folder to the home folder of the administrator running this utility. If a home folder owned by the administrator is found, the utility points the deleted user's home folder back the administrator's home folder. If the administrator's home folder is not found, the utility creates a new home folder and redirects the deleted user's home folder to it. Syntax %TC_BIN%\reset_user_home_folder [-u=user-id {-p=password | -pf=password-file} -g=group] -id=user-id-whose-home-folder-is-to-be-reset [-h] Arguments -u Specifies the user ID. This is a user with Teamcenter administration privileges. Note If Security Services single sign-on (SSO) is enabled for your server, the -u and -p arguments are authenticated externally through SSO rather than being authenticated against the Teamcenter database. If you do not supply these arguments, the utility attempts to join an existing SSO session. If no session is found, you are prompted to enter a user ID and password. -p Specifies the password. This argument is mutually exclusive with the -pf argument. -pf Specifies the password file. For more information about managing password files, see Manage password files. This argument is mutually exclusive with the -p argument. -g Specifies the group associated with the user. If used without a value, the user's default group is assumed. -id Specifies the user ID of the user who owns the home folder to be reset. Environment As specified in Setting up a Teamcenter command-line environment. Files As specified in Log files produced by Teamcenter. Restrictions None.
