Select Readymode

If you are using CA IDMS/DB Audit as a periodic maintenance tool, you can select RETRIEVAL mode. The database is readied in SHARED RETRIEVAL mode, and CA IDMS/DB Audit can share the database with other programs. In this mode, however, CA IDMS/DB Audit can only simulate corrections; it cannot actually update the database in RETRIEVAL mode. Also, if you use RETRIEVAL mode, you should ensure that no other program updates the database while CA IDMS/DB Audit is auditing or fixing the database.
