The DSRepair utility lets you maintain and repair the database of an OpenText eDirectory tree. This utility performs the following operations:
Corrects OpenText eDirectory problems such as bad records, schema mismatches, bad server addresses, and external references.
Makes advanced changes to the OpenText eDirectory schema.
Checks the structure of the database automatically without closing the database and without user intervention.
Checks the database operational indexes.
Reclaims free space by discarding empty records.
Repairs the local database.
Repairs replicas, replica rings, and Server objects.
Analyzes each server in each local partition for synchronization errors.
Locates and synchronizes objects in the local database.
Some OpenText eDirectory database problems are not fatal, and OpenText eDirectory will continue to operate. But if the database becomes corrupted, you will get a message on the console that the server could not open the local database. In this case, run Repair or contact OpenText Support.
OpenText does not recommend running repair operations unless you run into problems with OpenText eDirectory, or are told to do so by OpenText Support. However, you are encouraged to use the diagnostic features available in Repair and in other OpenText utilities such as OpenText iMonitor. For more information, see Section 8.0, Monitoring OpenText.
