Database audits
During normal operation, the system databases work independently
of each other under the direction of a set of software and hardware
processes. These processes coordinate the files, databases, and
system hardware.
Since databases are handled separately, it is possible for one
database to contain information that conflicts with another database.
For example, if a subscriber is removed from one database, other
databases could still contain messages addressed to that subscriber
or mailing lists that include that deleted subscriber name.
To reconcile possible conflicts among databases, software programs
called audits run automatically (or can be performed on demand)
to check for inconsistencies and, when possible, update information
in databases to correct problems. For example, audits remove all
references to a deleted subscriber, which includes deleting the
subscriber name from mailing lists and canceling message deliveries
to that subscriber.
Voice messaging audits
The messaging feature package performs many regular internal audits
on the databases of information it maintains. These databases include:
- Mailboxes
- Mailing lists
- Network data
- Personal directories
- Subscriber data
- Voice files
Networking database audits
The networking database audit consists of a series of internal
checks. For example, these checks verify that files are not corrupted
and that values within the files are within the proper ranges. The
networking database consists of two parts, the networking administration
database and the remote subscriber update status database.
This section provides information about the Voice Messaging Database
Audits on the Message Storage Server (MSS) that run automatically
or on demand to ensure the integrity of system data.
