Verifying the Database

Verifying the database means to check the operational status of the database. The rept-stat-db command is used to check the operational status of the database. The rept-stat-db command has three optional parameters that can be used with it, display, loc, and db.

The display parameter can use four values: brief (the default value), except, all, and version. The value for the loc parameter is the card location of the card, based on the GPL assigned to the card, whose database you wish to verify. These card locations are shown in Hardware Reference . The db parameter specifies which database to display: stp (the EAGLE databases), mps (the MPS databases) and all (both STP and MPS databases).

The operational status of the database is shown by the indicatorC. This indicator shows whether the database is coherent. Coherency is an indication of whether the update to the database was successful. Each database has a coherency indicator. When an update is attempted, the coherency indicator is set to “incoherent” before the actual update is executed. When the update has been successfully completed, the coherency indicator is changed to coherent. If the update is not successful, the coherency indicator is not changed. If the coherency indicator is incoherent, this could be an indication of possible internal coherency problems when a restart is executed (for example, an index table was updated, but the corresponding data storage table was not modified).

For more information about the rept-stat-db command, refer to the rept-stat-db command description in Commands User's Guide.

Checking the Status of the Database

To check the operational status of the database:

At the prompt, enter the rept-stat-db command.
The output of the rept-stat-db command shows the current operational status of the EAGLE’s distributed databases.
If the database is coherent, the database has no problems. The procedure is completed.

If any MPS/ELAP/EPAP database is not coherent, find the conditions shown in the output of the rept-stat-db command. Then refer to either ELAP Administration and LNP Feature Activation Guide or EPAP Administration Guide, and perform the database recovery procedures described in the RTDB / Maintenance menus.

If any STP database is not coherent, find the conditions shown in the output of the rept-stat-db command in this list and execute the appropriate command.

If the current partition of both fixed disks are coherent and the backup partition of the either fixed disk is not coherent, as shown in this output example, use the chg-db:action=backup:dest=fixed command. For more information, refer to Making a Backup of the Database on the Fixed Disk.
