CDO$HELP.HLB  —  CDO Commands, VERIFY  Qualifiers

1    /ALL 

    Performs all the verification options, except for the REBUILD_
    DIRECTORY and COMPRESS options.

    The /ALL qualifier includes the /NOFIX qualifier by default. If
    you want to use the /FIX qualifier as the default to the VERIFY
    /ALL command, define the CDD$VERIFY_ALL_FIX logical name to be
    any value. Define the CDD$VERIFY_ALL_FIX logical name at the
    process level or higher.

    If you specify the VERIFY/ALL command without specifying a /FIX
    or /NOFIX qualifier, and if you have not defined the CDD$VERIFY_
    ALL_FIX logical name, an informational error message, CDO-I-
    VF_ALL_NOFIX, will display and the VERIFY command will continue
    using the default /NOFIX qualifier.

2    /COMPRESS 

    Format options:

       /COMPRESS
       /NOCOMPRESS (default)

    Specifies whether CDO compresses the CDD$DATABASE.SNP file to
    its original size at the time you created the repository. If you
    specify the /COMPRESS qualifier, you cannot include any other
    qualifier in your command.

3    /DIRECTORY 

    Format options:

       /DIRECTORY
       /NODIRECTORY (default)

    Specifies whether CDO checks all directory names against a stored
    definition.

    When you also specify the /FIX qualifier, the /DIRECTORY
    qualifier removes directory names that do not refer to any stored
    definition.

4    /EXTERNAL_REFERENCES 

    Format options:

       /EXTERNAL_REFERENCES
       /NOEXTERNAL_REFERENCES (default)

    Specifies whether CDO checks all relationships where either the
    owner or member is outside the repository you specified.

    When you also specify the /FIX qualifier, the /EXTERNAL_
    REFERENCES qualifier fixes the errors it detects.

5    /FIX 

    Format options:

       /FIX
       /NOFIX (default)

    Specifies whether CDO corrects errors found by the other
    qualifiers you specify.

6    /LOCATION 

    Format options:

       /LOCATION
       /NOLOCATION (default)

    Specifies whether CDO checks that the repository is in the
    correct directory and is correctly referenced by other
    repositories on the system.

    When you also specify the /FIX qualifier, the /LOCATION qualifier
    fixes the errors it detects.

7    /LOG 

    Format options:

       /LOG
       /NOLOG (default)

    Specifies whether CDO sends informational and error text to the
    default output location for your system. Specifying the /NOLOG
    qualifier displays only error text.

8    /ORPHANS 

    Format options:

       /ORPHANS
       /NOORPHANS (default)

    Specifies whether CDO searches for definitions with no directory
    names and no owners. The /ORPHANS qualifier also checks
    relationships to ensure that they have valid owners and members.

    When you also specify the /FIX qualifier, it places homeless
    definitions in a directory called CDD$ORPHANS. CDO creates
    directory names for them while the VERIFY command executes. The
    /FIX qualifier deletes relationships without valid owners and
    members.

                                 CAUTION

       If you specify the /ORPHANS qualifier and the /LOG
       qualifier, CDO generates text for every element that is not
       an orphan. This could potentially be a very large number.

9    /REBUILD_DIRECTORY 

    Format options:

       /REBUILD_DIRECTORY
       /NOREBUILD_DIRECTORY (default)

    Specifies whether CDO checks that the repository is in the
    correct directory and is correctly referenced by other
    repositories on the system, then deletes and re-creates all
    directory entries for the repository anchor you specify. If
    there are no directories to delete and re-create, the /REBUILD_
    DIRECTORY qualifier builds a directory for the repository.

    Use the /REBUILD_DIRECTORY qualifier to recover a corrupted
    repository system only when corruption is so severe that all
    other qualifiers fail. The /REBUILD_DIRECTORY qualifier requires
    SYSPRV or BYPASS privilege.

                                   NOTE

       Use system backup utilities to back up your repository
       before using the /FIX qualifier or the /REBUILD_DIRECTORY
       qualifier. See Using Oracle CDD/Repository on OpenVMS
       Systems for information on performing a backup operation.
