Data Sets State Info

From the Data Sources page you can modify the state information for all data sets whose Active property is True, have a Mode property of 2 (Tracking). This dialog is used to skip over a section of the audit trail when the Databridge Engine is unable to process a block in the audit trail.

Caution

If you get into a situation where the Databridge Engine is unable to process an audit file call Micro Focus Customer Support before attempting to correct the situation. You need to be very careful as you risk corrupting the relational database. You should probably revoke the permission to execute this command for all users using the Manage Users command. You can always change this if you run into a situation where it is needed.

To run this command, select the Data Sets State Info command from the Settings drop-down button. This will open the following dialog:

To find the quiet point, run the DBInfo utility that is provided as part of the Databridge software on the MCP system. Refer to the Databridge Host Administrator's Guide for documentation on how to run DBInfo. Enter the values in the corresponding input fields on the page and select the Save button in the lower right corner of the page. The audit timestamp will be set to zero, which causes the Databridge Engine not to verify it.

Basic

This section has two read-only properties that describe the state of the Client.

Status

This line will normally have a value of In sync that indicates that all the datasets in question have the same state information values. If this is not the case it will display Multiple values instead.

Client State

This line will normally have a value of Tracking, which indicates that all data sets whose Active property is True, have a Mode of 2 (Tracking). Other possible values are Fixup, Clone and Off line. A Client state value of Fixup indicates that some data sets whose Active property is True, have a Mode of 1 (Fixup), and none have a Mode of 0 (Clone). A Client state value of Clone indicates that some data sets whose Active property is True, have a Mode of 0. Finally, a Client state value of off line indicates that there no data sets whose Mode is either 0, 1 or 2, which means that the Client is not in a state where it can process updates (for example all data sets could have a mode of 31, which indicates that a Reorganize command needs to be run).

State Information

These four edit boxes represent the parts of the State Information that you need to enter, Audit File Number (AFN), Audit Block (ABSN), Audit Segment (segment in the audit file), and Audit Index (index in the segment).
