Validating and activating files

After you have configured how the file should be monitored, and which fields, you are ready to validate and activate. After this step, the file will be monitored by Database Monitor.

To validate and activate

  1. Enter 21 for the file. The Database Monitor Validation screen appears, listing the configuration details and any warnings.

  2. Press Enter.
  3. Enter 22 for the file to Activate. The following screen appears showing the actions taken by Database Monitor during activation.

  4. Press Enter. The file is now colored white, indicating it is active.

    5. The V, A, C, D, A, and R columns indicate whether the file has been Validated, whether it is Active, and what values (Triggers or Journaling) have been added for Change, Delete, Add, and Read. This file (TSTEMP) is both Validated and Active. It uses Triggers for changes, deletions, and additions. Reads are not tracked.

  5. For the purposes of this demonstration, Validate and Activate the other files that begin with "TS" using options 21 and 22.
