# Running in Verify Mode

You can test the replication definitions used to customize the replication process by running Event Replicator for Adabas in verify (test) mode. To do this, you must turn on verify mode using one of the following settings:

- Use the VERIFYMODE parameter in the DDKARTE statements of the Event Replicator Server startup job.

- Use the Verify Mode global value setting in the Replicator system file. This value is set using the Adabas Event Replicator Subsystem.

When verify mode is turned on:

- All of the non-null destinations specified in the Replicator system file or as DDKARTE statements in the Event Replicator Server startup job are first changed to null destinations to ensure that data is not actually written to the destinations. A message is sent to the job log for each changed destination.

- Event Replicator for Adabas runs, testing all of its definitions as it does so, without actually writing any data to the destinations.

- When errors occur during subscription decompression, a related message is sent to the job log for the first occurrence of the error for a given subscription-SFILE-image definition combination. (Decompression failures are always noted in the DRPLPARM output, regardless of the setting of the VERIFYMODE parameter.)

- If no errors occur during subscription decompression, a related message is sent to the job log for the first successful decompression of a given subscription-SFILE-image definition combination. In addition, successful decompression attempts are noted in the DRPLPARM output when `VERIFYMODE=YES`.
