# Scheduling Database Audits

You can schedule events to automate the process of verifying the condition of the following system databases: Management Layer (ML) System, ISDN, Applications, IP Networking, and Voicemail (excluding the EMEM data).

NOTE: The audit does not include the Call Control database.

## Conditions

- During the audit, only the file structure, not the content, is verified.

- The verification is performed on a copy of the database files, which is auto-deleted once the verification is completed.

- If the audit detects a corrupted file, the process continues until all databases are verified. Once the verification is completed and one or more corrupted files are found, an Audit Failure alarm is generated.

- You can also run a manual audit at any time using the DATABASE AUDIT command.

## Operation

To schedule Database Audit events, refer to the following procedures:

- Add a Database Audit Event

- Edit an Event

- Delete an Event

- Copy an Event

- Execute an Event Immediately

### Add a Database Audit Event

If you select Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Yearly, the dialog expands, enabling you to customize the repetition interval. If you select Repeats Interval, you can specify the number up minutes between repeat events (up to 1440 minutes, or 24 hours), and whether you would like the event to be repeated continuously or a fixed number of times.

5. Click the Activity Parameters tab and complete the following fields:

   The new event is added to the event list.
