Viewing the Overnight Maintenance Report

The Overnight Maintenance Report lists the status of check programs that run nightly to maintain the integrity of the database files. The system runs as many of the check programs as possible in the allotted time. If the system is unable to run all of the programs in the allotted time, it will pick up where it left off on the next day.

From the report screen you can display the latest results for each program. Eclipse Support personnel use the report results for debugging purposes, when necessary.

To view the Overnight Maintenance Report:

  1. From the System > System Programming > System Maintenance menu, select Overnight Maintenance Report to display the Overnight Maintenance Report screen.

Note: If prompted, log on to the character-based system

The screen displays the following information for the check programs that have run:

Clear Errors

Clears all the error lists in the file for all dates. Only Eclipse personnel should use this hot key. Typically, the check programs delete error lists over 30 days old.  

Date

Changes the date of the report. Use the following guidelines for changing the date:

  • To see how many errors were found each time a designated check program ran, change the date back one day at a time and review the error counts.

  • Since all check programs may not finish in one night, you can change the date back to determine when a designated program last ran. Use this process to determine how long it takes to cycle through all programs.  

View Unfixed/ Warning Errs

Displays the unfixed or warning error on which you position the cursor.

  1. Press Esc to exit the screen and return to the System Maintenance menu.
