Program Description:
This program scans the database named in the configuration file
for inconsistencies in its internal tables. The db_verify command
generates a list of error conditions or a detailed report if you
request one. When the repair option is specified, db_verify attempts
to fix any inconsistencies in models and model objects in the
database.
If db_verify reports error conditions, run it again with the
repair option until no more error conditions are reported or the
output does not change.
Use db_verify after loading models during installation and
whenever database errors occur.
Note: This program can only be run from a privileged account.
CAUTION: Before issuing the db_verify command, shut down the
DC server identified in the configuration file by using the
kill_dc command.
Options:
config <config_file> Specifies a Teamwork configuration file,
which identifies a DC server process.
(default is /cadre/tsa/config_file)
verbose Displays a detailed report of the models
and model objects found in the database.
The resulting report is very large and
ordinarily is not necessary.
repair Repairs any database inconsistencies
by correcting models and model objects.
An object that cannot be restored to
its model is placed in the Lost_and_Found
model, from which you can copy the
objects.
delete Deletes any empty objects db_verify
encounters in the database. For the
delete option to take effect, you must
also specify the repair option.
help <help_dir> Shows the full help screen (this information)
and quits. The default directory
of help files is /cadre/help.
syntax <help_dir> Shows the short help screen
(syntax lines only) and quits.
version Shows the program header with the version
and quits.
options Lists the command line options chosen, before
executing the program.
arg_input <path_name> Indicates more command line options are
in the file 'path_name'.
noheader Suppresses the display of the program header
before program execution.
quiet Suppresses status messages during program
execution.
ask Prompts the user for required command line
options that are not specified.
unix Allows entry of options in Unix format
(-example_option).
vms Allows entry of options in VMS format
(/example_option).
os2 Allows entry of options in OS/2 format
(/example_option).
