The Certify action performs a check on the integrity of all database files, a specific file, a list of files, or a selected partition of a file. As each file is certified, its access mode is changed to read‑only and then back to update mode after the certify action is complete.
The syntax of the Certify action is as follows.
jdbadmin action=Certify
[path=database-path]
[ini=initialization-file-name]
[server=multiUser|singleUser]
[files=file-name1,file-name2,…|file=file-name [part=partition-ID]]
The path argument is optional in multiuser mode.
The files parameter can be used to specify a file list or the file argument can be used to identify a specific file. The part argument, when specified, limits the certification to the specified partition of the file specified in the file argument.
If you do not specify the file or files argument, a list of files that will not be processed for non‑error reasons is output to the console (that is, to stdout).
For details, see "Database Certification", in Chapter 3.
