Total Structure Verifier System (TSVS)

Abstract

The Total Structure Verifier System (TSVS) is a utility which checks TOTAL file internal system fields. TOTAL files have pointer fields matching records within and between files. It is the purpose of the TSVS to check mode with a minimum of user preparation. The TSVS is designed to run in batch mode with a minimum of user preparation. The TSVS will report errors it finds by printing each record in error with a description of the error. The TSVS can find only those errors which are in conflict with the TOTAL file linkage rules. Thus, for example, the TSVS can find an error when a free space record points to an active record, but it cannot find an error when a data field has an incorrect value. In general, the TSVS will find errors of structure, when the TOTAL nucleus routines, while processing through application programs, improperly access records. The TSVS validates the integrity of the individual files without using the data base management system itself. The User's Manual is contained in the fist file of the magnetic tape.
