Orphaned Subproducts

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Hello, 
As a newbie in running PC, I am still learning about the nitty-gritty details in running a clean store.  In reading through all of the apparel add-on pages in the WIKI, I discovered that I may have created some orphaned subproducts by not properly uploading the image files when doing a batch process.  I'm concerned about this as the page stated it can make your store run slower and possibly create other errors.  Is there a way to determine, for certain, that you have these orphaned subproducts?  

It does say in the WIKI (http://wiki.earlyimpact.com/apparel_add-on/app_fix_database) that the script for fixing such errors can be safely run w/o really knowing whether or not you need to, but I am still concerned about products/subproducts being deleted that shouldn't be!!  

So, does anyone have any experiencing in running this script and was it successful?  Or do you know of a way in determining if you should or shouldn't run the script?

Thanks!
