Hi,

A few months we just had the same problem during expiration.
All the procedures dump/load/audit did not work in our case,

We first did audit db which took more than two days what means
that your ADSM is not accessable for backup/restore/.....

Because the problem was not solved IBM told us to do a dump db
and afterwards a load db.
The result again after several days was that we were not able anymore
to load the db.

Fortunately, we had plans to migrate to a new environment and continued
with this environment. Else, we could lose everything because the data would
not be accessible
after the dump db.

So in any case, ask a written procedure of IBM and certainly make e good db
backup before
you start with audit, dump, ... For the commands, you have some undocumented
commands, ask IBM.

Good luck, you will need it

Subject: When to run DUMP/LOAD & AUDIT

Hello ADSMers,

     I am in a situation where my expiration process
hangs once a week giving so specific error in activity
log.
I have seen some similar problems reported suggesting to
run dump/load & audit of database. Everyone knows that
this is not a very exciting procedure. Can any one
tell how to know if this is exactly what I have to do
or I just run it believing that there is some problem.
For the size of database I have the system will not
be available for 10days.
I have also heard of some undocumented commmands
with which we can find excatly the able with error &
audit only that one. Can anyone tell me which commands
are they or from to get information about them.

Thanks in advance

Arshad Munir
