Report Summary

This overall assessment of the Database (DB) integrity is often the most useful part of the report to the user. The following messages can be output:

*DATABASE CONTAINS FATAL ERRORS**

The DB must not be used further in the context of an AVEVA base product project and a backup copy must be retrieved to replace it.

Important:
Any occurrence of DB corruption should always be reported immediately to AVEVA Solutions Ltd and documented in the usual way on a fault report.

Sometimes a corrupted database can be recovered by patching or reconfiguration, but this is not guaranteed.

To recover a database using patching, set CHECKOPTION PATCH ON and repeat the Data Integrity Check (DICE) check.

Patching will fix various DICE errors, including (but not limited to) claimlist errors.

Database has no structural errors

The DB can continue to be used.

Warning! Database contains some reference attribute warnings

For example, a reference pointing to an element which has been deleted has been found. The database can continue to be used, but the inconsistencies may need further investigation.

DICE validates both the local date time and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) session date time (if present) on the session header and will output an error - if either is invalid.
