I'm not convinced that this isn't just a "let's-try-it-and-see-what-happens"
kind of answer either.  Fortunately, we don't do much backing up on the
weekends - more maintenance kind of stuff.....reclamations, expires, etc.  I
agree, though, for as wonderful as ADSM is in other areas, this having to be
out of commission for so long to "maybe" fix the problem is very
disappointing.  I just hope it works.

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.
