**Tool**. Runs: [dorieh.cms.registry](../members/registry)

## Description

This tool examines a directory with raw CMS data, looking
for [File Transfer Summary (FTS)](../fts) files. It examines each
FTS file under directory (recursively) and creates a unified
data model for input raw CMS data. If any FTS files for
different years are incompatible with one another, a
warning is reported. However, so far we found that all years
are compatible.
