I have to agree with Richard. I currently have a 9gig data base and I have 4
volumes in error. IBM has quoted me a time of 1 day per gig to run AUDIT DB
FIX=YES for us that is just not possible, ADSM unavailable for 9 days!!!!. We
are waitig for a more realistic solution from IBM.

It will likely mean having your server unavailable for most of the
weekend.  The ADSM product is long overdue for online auditing of
the database - it should not be necessary to take the whole facility
down for days to detect and correct an enduring inconsistency in a
small part of the database.  That's ridiculous.  ADSM should be a
far more sophisticated product than that.
