Specifies the maximum number of "incorrectly marked busy errors" that MUPIP INTEG reports. The format of the MAP qualifier is:
-[NO]MAP[=integer]
-NOMAP removes limits on incorrectly marked busy reporting so that INTEG reports all map errors.
-NOMAP does not accept assignment of an argument.
By default, INTEG reports a maximum of 10 map errors (-MAP=10).

MUPIP INTEG reports "incorrectly marked free" errors as they require prompt action. MAP does not restrict them. |
An error in an index block prevents INTEG from processing potentially large areas of the database. A single "primary" error may cause large numbers of "secondary" incorrectly marked busy errors, which are actually useful in identifying valid blocks that have no valid index pointer. Because "real" or primary incorrectly marked busy errors only make "empty" blocks unavailable to the system, they are low impact and do not require immediate repair.

After a system crash and a database recovery with MUPIP recover or rollback, the database can legitimately have benign, incorrectly marked busy errors. These errors do not require immediate repair. Schedule repairs for the next convenient opportunity. |
