DBAUDIT scans a nominated ADASAV backup (thereby avoiding any impact upon production databases) and applies user-supplied verification criteria.

Output can be either reports or files containing full details of any database integrity violations, as well as optional control totals and counts.

DBAUDIT uses a simple but powerful SQL-like command language that allows the DBA or developer to specify verification rules without the need to write programs.

DBAUDIT's verification rules may be:

• inter-file (referential integrity);
• intra-file; or
• intra-record.
• Only a single pass of the entire ADASAV backup is required - and only those volumes containing relevant data are analyzed.
• Using a backup as input reduces the load on the database and eliminates disk drive contention.
• CPU usage and elapsed time are minimized due to DBAUDIT's avoidance of ADABAS calls. Extremely efficient parallel I/O and manipulation algorithms are used to map, decompress and process data.
• Complex verification rules can be easily constructed without the need for special programs.
• Flexible control over output, including media and/or reporting content.

DBAUDIT provides unparalleled utility and ease-of-use in the search for application integrity.
