Verifying Database Links

The Verify Database Links utility is used to rebuild all the links of the database. Moreover, this program cleans the databases by deleting links that are no longer valid. For example, if a schedule was assigned to a functionality and this schedule was deleted, the system will initialize the field where it was assigned in the primary database. It will also remove the records that point to deleted components. For example, if an access level is assigned to a gateway and this access level was deleted, it will delete the record in the database. The Verify Database Links utility enables complete management of the links between each component and ensures that the correct information is displayed when:

• Viewing the structure of a component's links to all other components of the system,
• Removing all the traces of a component within the database when this component has been deleted. For example, if a schedule is deleted, the system will use the link list to initialize all the database fields that contains this schedule.
  Note: It may be necessary to use this function when it is obvious that the database links are incorrect. This features is useful when for example the system experiences abnormal terminations.
