Running Integrity Checker before upgrade

The Integrity Checker is a database configuration utility that you can use to assess the health of the base layer data dictionary.

About this task

You can use the Integrity Checker utility to ensure that the Maximo® Asset Management database is ready for upgrade. When run in Report mode, the Integrity Checker utility checks the current database and reports errors. If the Integrity Checker reports an error, you must resolve it by running the Integrity Checker in Repair mode.

Procedure

On the system where Maximo Asset Management is installed, open a command prompt and change directory to the tools directory.
For example, install_home\maximo\tools\maximo.
Start the Integrity Checker utility by issuing the integrityui.bat command.
Select the Check Integrity tab.
Run the Integrity Checker in Report mode.
1. Ensure that the Repair Mode check box is cleared and then click Run Integrity Checker.
2. When the report dialog box appears, click OK.
  Results are found in the install_home\maximo\tools\maximo\log directory in the file that is defined in the Log File Name field of the Check Integrity pane.
Optional: If any errors are reported, run the Integrity Checker in Repair mode.
1. Select the Repair Mode check box and then click Run Integrity Checker.
2. When the report dialog box appears, click OK.
3. Change directory to install_home\maximo\tools\maximo\ and then run the configdb command.
  For more information on Integrity checker warning and error messages, see Integrity checker messages.
  
  Attention: Although the Integrity Checker can repair many issues, you might need to resolve some errors manually by consulting the log files or opening a case with the IBM® support team.

What to do next

Check the log file to ensure that all reported items are repaired. If further manual intervention is required, you must resolve the errors and then rerun the Integrity Checker in Report mode. Repeat the process until no more errors are reported.
