DBRM Check is a powerful tool that gives DB2 Application Developers and DBAs the ability to diagnose potential problems before they occur. DBRM Check's combination of a powerful, user-friendly DBRM Browser, plus sophisticated timestamp analysis, provides an unsurpassed diagnostic toolkit that lets you detect potential application failures before they can impact users.

Rapid application change and the pressure to quickly migrate DB2 applications to production combine to create a high potential for timestamp errors. Too often, despite the most conscientious efforts to avoid mistakes, package lists are incorrect.

Package list timestamp errors (-805 and -818) occur when the package consistency token in the executing code does not match the consistency token for the package in the DB2 subsystem. DBRM Check's batch process raises the integrity of your development effort by identifying potential problems before they occur.

The usual way of dealing with timestamp errors is to correct them one at a time as they occur during program execution. This can be intensely frustrating and lead to expensive outages. DBRM Check can find all errors in a single pass and match the tokens from the originating DBRMs with the corresponding tokens in the DB2 subsystem. Timestamps are displayed in a user-friendly format.

DBRM Check's ISPF interface helps reduce delays in DB2 application development by relieving concern about potential errors and giving developers needed assistance in pinpointing the places where errors occur.
