Hi Bowker,

It wasn't clear where you were getting some of the numbers in your post. 

In your list command you were targeting one database, do you by chance have more than one DB in your content engine? This could be one reason for the discrepancy.  Something else to consider, some of the totals in the web pages or action commands also count sections and deleted documents. 

Does action=list get the same result as the list command you posted?
Have you tried the export and just target the one DB?
Have you performed an validate and/or compact recently?

Does action=list get the same result as the list command you posted? - Yes

Have you tried the export and just target the one DB? - Yes

Have you performed an validate and/or compact recently? - No, not a validate.  Can you help me with the command(s) to do the validate?

Hi Bowker,

Please make sure you have a good backup before you proceed.

Browse to http://server:port/a=admin

I've added 2 duplicate documents here.

Documents and Committed Documents show different values.

On the lower-right you'll see Sync/Compact.

Select sync, then you'll see Validate and Compact

Select Validate (choose what you want to validate) and select OK.

The bottom of the screen we show progress, please wait until it's finished. 

Then Select Compact, again please wait until everything is finished.

If duplicate documents are what is causing the discrepancy, you'll the numbers match.

If you are still seeing the same issue please open a ticket with support.

I think it's better - thank you.  The doc vs. committed doc count was off by about 25%.

Now they're the same.
