Hello

If you are having big problems with your database TSM support might want you to 
run an audit of the database.

Ys,it takes along time but there are different options to the audit command 
that makes the audit faster.

We have been running ADSM/TSM since 1996, 12 years, and we have NEVER had to 
run an audit.
We came close about a year ago, but TSM support had some undocumented commands 
that fixed our problem without an audit.

Our databases are too large, that's why a complete audit would take 4-5days, 
Try to keep your databases small enough so you run an audit in like 12h

Ämne: [ADSM-L] Why would I need an auditdb?

Still considering the whole "NBU or TSM" question...

I've read in the archives of this mailing list about a "DSMSERV AUDITDB." I 
understand that it's something that would be directed by support, but it looks 
like it would take a really long time if I do run it.

Why would support ever tell me to run it?

Is this something that most TSM customers end up running?

Thanks for any help, and happy thanksgiving if you're in the US!
