Overview of auditing DBD libraries
Auditing DBD libraries is useful in many data management situations, such as the following:
Verification
Auditing the DBD library helps you ensure that all necessary definitions have been created for a database. The DBD Audit report shows that the corresponding ACB was generated, that the online definition was made, that the dynamic allocation member exists, and that the database was registered with DBRC.
Migrating to an new environment
The DBD Audit report helps you verify that all definitions have been generated for the new environment.
Implementing new standards
For instance, if your installation standard has changed to employ dynamic allocation for all database data sets, the DBD Audit report tells you which databases already have dynamic allocation members and which members need to be created.
