That would be bad advice - do not capriciously run an AUDITDB!
AUDITDB is categorized as a salvage utility. You would run it only if
severe database errors were in evidence, and then only if so directed
by TSM Support, after having pursued other database problem resolution
measures. Running AUDITDB can result in loss of data and/or further
damage to the database.

See entry 'dsmserv AUDITDB' in http://people.bu.edu/rbs/ADSM.QuickFacts
for further words on this.

Leave your database alone: if there's no indication of a problem, there
is no problem.
