Running DB System Checks in CCMS (Informix) 

Use

You can use this procedure to run database system checks (shortened to "DB system checks") for your Informix database. This procedure is started from the Computing Center Management System (CCMS) in the R/3 System.

You can also run the DB system checks in the DBA Planning Calendar or SAPDBA.

Prerequisites

You are ready to use CCMS. Refer to Getting Started in CCMS with Informix DBA.

Procedure

  1. Choose Tools ® CCMS ® DB Administration ® Check ® Monitor.
  2. To run a check using the current configuration, choose Run check.

    3. The system prompts you to define the type of check you want to run.

    If you want to change the configuration, see Configuring DB System Checks in CCMS (Informix).

  3. Select the type of check you want to run. You can run a particular class of check by selecting Origin class and entering a valid class. You can run a single check by selecting Parameter and entering the name of the check. You can re-run the automatically executed checks by selecting Alert schedule class and then entering Hourly or Daily.
  4. If you want very detailed information to appear in the results log, select store and show all single checks (verbose).
  5. To execute the check, choose run check.

Result

The system executes the check, normally taking only a short time.

SAP recommends that you always look at the results of check runs as soon as possible, otherwise you might fail to react in good time to a warning or error. At worst, this might lead to data loss.

For more information about checking the results, see Viewing DB System Checks in CCMS (Informix).
