VMS Help  —  RMU72  Repair
    Corrects several types of database problems. You can use the RMU
    Repair command to:

    o  Repair all types of space area management (SPAM) page
       corruptions by reconstructing the SPAM pages in one or more
       storage areas.

    o  Repair all area bit map (ABM) page format errors.

    o  Repair all page tail errors to the satisfaction of the RMU
       Verify operation by making sure that every database page is
       in a logical area and contains the appropriate information for
       that logical area.

    o  Correct some performance problems that might otherwise have to
       be corrected by exporting and importing the database.

    o  Set damaged or missing segmented string (LIST OF BYTE VARYING)
       areas that are stored in write-once areas to null.

    The repair operation cannot correct corrupted user data, or
    corrupted indexes; use other commands such as the RMU Restore,
    the RMU Recover, the SQL IMPORT, or the RMU Load command and
    delete the affected structures to correct these problems.

                                   NOTE

       Use of the Abm or the Initialize=Tsns qualifier disables
       after-image journaling. After issuing an RMU Repair command
       with these qualifiers, back up the database and reenable
       journaling manually.
