Can someone point me to an explanation of the file naming convention that Dimensions uses for the Item Library? I need to make a correlation between what's in the database and what exists on the file system.

Thanks,
David

We're running an 'older' version (10.1.3), but as I recall it's PCMS_ITEM_DATA.LIB_FILENAME, plus a ".", plus PCMS_ITEM_DATA.FILE_VERSION

Thanks. With that info I was able to build a query to create a file listing of what the database said we had and compare it to a Dir listing of the library folder and determine what files were in the folder erroneously. We had a test system that had been pointing to the production item library during testing and we created some bad versions of a few files. With this I was able to clean them up BEFORE a check in error occurred.
