You can use this command to display whether the system is using the current system tables. You can also display whether the automatic update function for the system tables is switched on or off, and you can switch the function on and off.
The automatic update function for the system tables is active by default.
If this function is on, the system checks during restart after the database has been transferred to the ONLINE operational state, whether the version of the database software and the version of the system tables in the database are identical. If this is not the case, the system automatically executes the command for updating the system tables (see also load_systab).
If you swith off this function, the automatic update function for the system tables is deactivated for the next restart only. It is automatically re-activated by the system for the next but one restart.
Note
Deactivate the automatic update function for the system tables only if you are instructed to do so by the support desk.
