ADAWRK Utility: Work Area Recovery Reports

The ADAWRK utility can be used to produce reports from records in the autorestart area of Work part 1. This information can be used when the database autostart fails and the database will not come up. The data on the ADAWRK reports can help you determine whether:

  • You should run a restore/regenerate (ADASAV RESTORE utility function followed by the ADARES REGENERATE utility function) of the database, which can be time-consuming.

  • Excluding specific files from the autorestart using AREXCLUDE and then restoring/regenerating only these single files would be beneficial.

  • The database can be quickly repaired so it can be started and functional more quickly.
