SYNCHRONIZE STAMPS

The SYNCHRONIZE STAMPS utility manipulates SQL synchronization stamps in the following ways:

Displays and compares the stamps in the catalog and the data area(s), issuing a warning if stamps are inconsistent
Updates the catalog with the stamps from the data area(s)
Updates the data area(s) with the stamps from the catalog

This utility provides an alternate mechanism for taking snapshot copies of identically defined databases and also as an aid in recovery situations in which either the catalog or a data area must be restored independently of each other.
