The table below lists the directories that are automatically created by the checking tool.
Table 14 Directories automatically created by EX_DRM_SQL_DEF_CHECK
VDI metafile storage direct-
ory
Temporary directory for extended com-
mands
Where
EX_DRM_SQL_DEF_CHECK
is executed
The VDI metafile storage direct-
ory that was registered with
the drmsqlinit command,
or the directory that contains
the smallest file_id of all the
SQL Server database data files
to be backed up (if the VDI
metafile storage directory was
not specified for drmsqlin-
it)
script_work-directory-at-the-
same-level-as-the-dictionary-
map-files-storage-directory\
operation-ID\DB
(Example)
When the directory where dictionary map
files are stored is H:\PTM and the oper-
ation ID is Operation_A, the temporary
directory for extended commands is H:\
script_work\Operation_A\DB.

Prerequisites
The prerequisites for executing this extended command are as follows:
• The account of the user currently logged into Windows must be allowed to connect to the database
server.
• The SQL Server service must be running on the database server.
• The SQL Server instance specified in the file you want to check exists on a host when the command
is executed on the database server.
• Queries can be issued to the databases in the same SQL Server instance when the command is
executed on the database server.
• The initial settings for the instance specified in INSTANCE_NAME have been specified by executing
the drmsqlinit command.
Arguments
operation-ID
A character string that uniquely identifies the operation to be performed. Information in the operation
definition file corresponding to the specified operation ID is used when executing the extended
command.
-db
Specify this option to check the contents of an operation definition file for a database server.
-bk
Specify this option to check the contents of an operation definition file for a backup server.
-f definition-file-name
Specify this option to designate the operation definition file to be checked. Specify
definition-file-name as an absolute path.
