Repairing HALDB databases by using the ILK Repair utility

If you identify corrupted HALDB partition reorganization numbers, duplicate ILKs, or potentially duplicate ILKs in your HALDB databases, you must correct them because these problems can cause data loss.

To repair such errors, use the HD Pointer Checker utility of IMS HP Pointer Checker and the ILK Repair utility. The HD Pointer Checker utility generates repair information records in a data set that you use as input to the ILK Repair utility. The ILK Repair utility corrects the errors in the HALDB databases, all the databases that are logically related, and PSINDEX databases.

For more information, see the topic "Repairing HALDB partition reorganization numbers and duplicate ILKs" in the IMS High Performance Pointer Checker User's Guide.
