After you invoke the check for consistency, try to find the components named in the Transcript notices in an Applications Browser or a Classes Browser. By doing this, you can determine what components, if any, you lost.
If you lost classes or their methods during a crash, try to recover them by using the menu items described below.
To recover classes or methods that an application contained before the crash:
If your image already holds all classes contained in the application and no classes were ever deleted from the application, a window opens stating that all classes are loaded in your image. If this window opens, try the More Recent Editions menu item described below.
If the application lost classes or had classes expressly deleted from it, a window opens listing all classes that the application formerly contained.
A Class Editions Browser opens on the selected class.
![]() | If you are not the owner or developer of the class, ask the owner or developer which edition belongs in the application. To learn the name of the owner or developer, select Show Owner or Show Developer from the Info menu. The name is displayed along the bottom of the window. |
To recover unreleased classes and their methods:
If all of the most recent editions exist in your image, the system informs you that all class editions are loaded.
If more recent editions exist and the application has unreleased classes that you lost during the crash or class editions that are more recent than the editions existing in your image, a window opens listing those classes.
A Class Editions Browser, such as the following, opens on the selected
class.
In addition to using the Available and More Recent
Editions menu options, you can compare the editions of components loaded
in your image to the editions in the library to determine what editions were
lost during the crash. To do this, you use a Changes Browser.
