The Stsadm variationsfixuptool operation lets farm administrators control and perform operations against variations. It allows a farm administrator to:

• Analyze, report, and fix potential variation problems such as orphaned pages and incomplete variation hierarchies.

• Force a variation process to complete in a timer job. This is particularly useful in scenarios where a new variation label is created in an existing hierarchy and there are thousands of pages that need to be synchronized with the new label.

• Investigate and report how many variation jobs are running in a specific site collection.

Note:
The variationsfixuptool operation was first introduced in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 with Service Pack 2 (SP2).

Before you perform this procedure, confirm that:

• You have read the topic Administer variations.

Important:
To run the Stsadm command-line tool, you must be a member of the Administrators group on the local computer.
