Janet,

Huh?  This seems like very odd advice.  Writing over the checkpoint file
with the initialized checkpoint wipes out the last good checkpoint file.  If
you then rebooted the CP, you'd wind up with no control database in the CP
and a very confused CSA.  I assume that deleting the /opt/fox/csa files
takes care of the latter problem, but why would Ken want to do this?

Hi Ken,

You can try the following:

Compare the size of the two files DB<CP letterbug>.init to DB<CP
letterbug>.UC in the /usr/fox/sp/files directory. If they are different
sizes, copy the DB<CP letterbug>..init to DB<CP letterbug>..UC.

Another option, which will likely force you to reboot and reload the
controls is listed below:

On the AW, change directory to /opt/fox/csa and delete the following files:
CMPD_INDEX.datCMPD_INDEX.idxSTN_INDEX.idxSTN_INDEX.dat
Additionally, remove the <SCP Letterbug ID> directory.

However, I would call the help desk before performing any of these
procedures.
