Integrated Index Processing

If INDEX is specified in the AUDIT statement, CA IDMS/DB Audit verifies each integrated index entry against its database record occurrence. You cannot specify the INDEX option with QuickCheck auditing.

To detect integrated index orphans, CA IDMS/DB Audit examines the upper level pointers in each SR8 record.

CA IDMS/DB Audit also verifies the entries in the SR8 records of the integrated index set by trying to retrieve any records pointed to by the db-keys in the entries.

CA IDMS/DB Audit verifies:

• Upper level pointers
• Db-keys:
  • Record not found
  • Record type incorrect
  • Record not within page range
  • Record located in non-readied area
• Symbolic keys
• Sort key sequences (set sorted by db-key or symbolic key)
• Level numbers
• Sort flags

A check for disconnections of member records is made when CA IDMS/DB Audit sweeps the area looking for mandatory-automatic member records of integrated index sets. It then compares the list of the member records with a list of member records found while walking down from the owners of integrated index sets.
