Incorrectly incrementing sequence numbers may be observed by displaying a
listing of the closed AMACRD files in the index. The system should also
report BAD AMAIDX FILE.
Procedure 6-21
Sequence Number Not Incrementing Recognition
Step Description
20
Check the AMA Index File. Have the BMC check the integrity of the AMA Index File. In this
example, the execution of the following command will result with an error message which
verifies that the AMA Index File is corrupt.
>IDXMAINT CHECK AMA (cr)
System response: BAD AMAIDX FILE
21
Display the summary of AMACRD files in the index.
>IDXMAINT DIR CLOSED AMA 200 (cr)
Example response:
VS 106: 2968 BLKS, 99 DA SECNDRY, AMA SEQ #002747
VS 107: 1698 BLKS, 99 DA SECNDRY, AMA SEQ #005715
VS 108: 1335 BLKS, 49 PRIMARY, AMA SEQ #007413
VS 109: 1389 BLKS, 1389 PRIMARY, AMA SEQ #008740
VS 110: 304 BLKS, 304 PRIMARY, AMA SEQ #010129
VS 111: 632 BLKS, 632 PRIMARY, AMA SEQ #010433
VS 112: 1085 BLKS, 1085 PRIMARY, AMA SEQ #011065
END OF AMAIDX FILE

Check that the sum of the beginning sequence number for a version and the blocks in that
version correctly adds up to the next beginning sequence number.
In this example, the sequence number for version number 109 is incorrect.
Prior to (and after) version 109, the sequence numbers are incrementing
properly. The sequence number for version 109, #608740, has incorrectly
been incremented by only 1327 blocks. It should have incremented by 1335
blocks (sequence number 607413 for version 108 plus 1335 blocks in version
108 equals sequence number 608748 for version 109). Eight blocks of
PRIMARY AMA appear to be missing in version 108.
The effect is that the polling center won't be able to retrieve AMA starting at
version 109, because there will be duplicate sequences in versions 108 and
