Tivoli Header
Administrator's Reference
Use this command to ensure that the database is returned to a synchronized
state after it is reloaded by issuing the DSMSERV LOADDB command. A
message at the end of the output from the DSMSERV LOADDB command indicates
whether this command is required. Issue this command before starting
the server, and do not restart the server until the command has completed
processing.
Issue this command only if one of the following conditions is true:
- The recovery log mode was set to normal before the server was
halted.
- The database was backed up just before the server was halted.
- Note:
- If the recovery log mode was set to roll-forward before the server was
halted, set the recovery log mode to normal before issuing the DSMSERV AUDITDB
utility. This action will avoid running out of log space during DSMSERV
AUDITDB processing.
No other server activity is allowed during DSMSERV AUDITDB
processing.
- Note:
- If STANDARD policy objects are deleted before Tivoli Storage Manager
reinstallation, you will receive a message during the audit processing
indicating that an instance count does not agree with actual data. If
you delete the STANDARD policy objects, they are restored during
reinstallation. The command does not delete the objects.
Instead, it synchronizes the instance count to include the restored
objects.

Parameters
- FIX
- Specifies how Tivoli Storage Manager resolves inconsistencies in the
database. This parameter is optional. The default is NO.
When you are recovering a database, you should specify YES. Possible
values are:
- No
- Tivoli Storage Manager reports, but does not fix, any logical
inconsistencies found.
If the audit finds inconsistencies, re-issue the command specifying FIX=YES
before making the server available for production work. Because AUDITDB
must be run with FIX=YES to recover the database, the recommended usage in a
recovery situation is FIX=YES the first time.
- Yes
- Tivoli Storage Manager fixes any inconsistencies and issues messages
indicating the actions taken.
- Detail
- Specifies the level of database testing that Tivoli Storage Manager will
do. This parameter is optional. The default value is NO.
Possible values are:
- No
- Tivoli Storage Manager only tests the referential integrity of the
database.
- Yes
- Tivoli Storage Manager tests the referential integrity of the database and
the integrity of each database entry.
- FILE
- Specifies that the output is redirected to the specified file. This
parameter is optional.
Examples
Task

fix inconsistencies if they exist.
