Improving Performance

CA IDMS/DB Audit provides several options for improving processing performance:

• Omit one or more areas if the database has several areas.
• Perform a partial area audit. Partial area audits always require less processing time than full area audits, although you must decide what action to take for any sets that cross area boundaries. You can perform a partial area audit in one of the following ways:
  • Select specific set types to audit by including or excluding other areas, records, and sets.
  • Specify BEGIN and END pages in an AREA statement if the database has only one large area (Standard auditing only). You can fix errors in the partial area if the owners of all sets involved are included in the partial area. See Operating Preparations for more information.
• Perform a QuickCheck audit rather than a Standard audit.
