Liz,

Agreed.

About 12 or so years ago I was brought in to fix a really bad mess. The CDS's were being shared between systems and absolutely integrity product was in place (nor were the HSM parms set up correctly. What a mess!

AUDITS were set up and ran continuously for weeks on end. Actually I broke the audit jobs up but the the elapsed time for all the jobs lasted 20-22 hours a day. I never saw so many errors in my life. IBM just shook their head and kept saying we were lucky all the CDS's wasn't totally corrupt.

Brian,

Running HSM audits on a regualar basis IS a good idea. We were burned a few years ago (thankfully not on a Production plex) and since then have instituted a policy of 'no backup, no migrate' so that there is always a second copy of the data somewhere for recovery. As well, we run audits on a daily basis - we use the FastAudit product from Mainstar as the native
audit just runs too long.
