Clrconn.stk | Dsrepair runs once with -n1 switch to clear connections, followed by regular repair to clean database - Healthcheck {logs Output to logfile SYS:SYSTEM\CLRCONN.LOG} |
Chktime.stk | Checks timesync of servers - Healthcheck {logs Output to logfile SYS:SYSTEM\TIMESTAT.LOG} |
Cleandb.stk | Dsrepair runs twice with database locked and rebuilds operational schema and local reference options selected - Healthcheck {logs Output to logfile SYS:SYSTEM\CHKDB.LOG} |
Comphlth.stk | Checks timesync of servers - Automates repair of network addresses on server Checks replica sync of replicas on servers - Healthcheck {logs Output to logfile.SYS:SYSTEM\TIMESTAT.LOG;NETADDR.LOG;SYNCSTAT.LOG| |
Fixaddr.stk | Automates repair of network addresses on server - Healthcheck {logs Output to logfile SYS:SYSTEM\NETADDR.LOG} |

At the end of each script a basic Healthcheck is kicked off on each server with the following switches:
SET DSTRACE =NODEBUG
SET DSTRACE =ON
SET DSTRACE = S
SET DSTRACE = PART
SET DSTRACE =*U
SET DSTRACE =*H
Following by a 30-second pause, the DSTRACE screen is turned off and the following switches are set:
SET TTF=OFF
SET DSTRACE=NODEBUG
SET DSTRACE=*H
SET DSTRACE=OFF
Each file contains a description of its purpose/use and has an associated ncf file that calls it.
