Integrity Analysis Report

The second report type produced by CA IDMS/DB Audit is the Integrity Analysis Report. This report consists of two report sections:

The Before Image Report Section lists all physical integrity errors found by CA IDMS/DB Audit during the audit phase.

Before images are the extracts or record identifiers (db-key pointers, next, prior, or owner (N/P/O) pointers, sort keys) that appear on the Integrity Analysis Report.

The After Image Report Section shows the state of the database after CA IDMS/DB Audit has fixed all the physical integrity errors it can fix.

After images also appear on the Integrity Analysis Report and are the same record identifiers (db-key pointers, N/P/O pointers, sort keys) in fixed format--either the way CA IDMS/DB Audit will fix them (simulate) or the way in which CA IDMS/DB Audit has already fixed them (update).

To generate the After Image Report without actually performing the fixes, specify SIMULATE in the FIX statement. You can have CA IDMS/DB Audit generate the Simulated After Image Report in one run, and perform the fixes in another separate run without re-auditing the database. To execute a separate fix run, you must save the extract file (or files) created by the audit phase to use later in the fix phase.
