Repository Diagnostic Tool
The Repository Diagnostic Tool (RDT) is new for BusinessObjects Enterprise
XI 3.0. This command line tool scans, diagnoses, and repairs inconsistencies
that may occur between the Central Management Server (CMS) system
database and the File Repository Servers (FRS) filestore.
The RDT scans the CMS system database and identifies inconsistencies. It
also repairs any logged inconsistencies, and reports the repair status and
completed actions. To determine synchronization between the file system
and database, use RDT after you first complete a hot back-up. Or use the
RDT after a restoration and prior to the starting BusinessObjects Enterprise
services. You may limit of the number of errors the RDT will find and/or repair
before stopping.
Note: Use the RDT as an aid only. While this tool can identify the majority
of inconsistencies between the CMS and FRS, it may not detect all types of
discrepancies.
During normal operations, it is unusual for the CMS system database to have
inconsistencies. However, inconsistencies may occur during unexpected
events such as disaster recovery, back-up restoration, or network outages.
During these events, the CMS system database may be interrupted while in
an inconsistent state; while executing a database write, insert or update.
This can cause inconsistencies with objects in the CMS system database.
Objects are elements of the BusinessObjects Enterprise system, including:
reports, users, folders, groups, servers, connections, universes, etc.
The inconsistencies that the RDT will scan for are:
• Object to file inconsistencies. For example, a file stored in the FRS may
not have a corresponding object within the CMS system database.
The RDT performs two functions; diagnosis and repair:
1. It scans the CMS system database, reports inconsistencies, and outputs
a log file in XML format with suggested actions to repair the
inconsistencies.
2. It scans and repairs the inconsistencies identified in the CMS system
database and reports all actions taken and changes made in XML format.
Here are two scenarios in you may experience with the RDT:
