Core Processes
These processes are applicable to all modules.
Process
Description
Attachment Storage Synchronizer
Synchronizes the external storage of attachments with the internal attachments record.
Database Maintenance (Cannot be executed by Segment)
Removes temporary tables and updates the optimizer statistics.
Gateway Consistency Check
Ensures that all of the primary keys and foreign key relationships are correct. For example, if IPCS_LOC_MASTER, Location Master table, references a Region ,HostRegionID, that is not present, then the Gateway Consistency Check reports the location with the invalid region reference.
All references to be checked are defined in the IPCSDD_FK_CHECK, Foreign key check, table. The results are stored in the IPCSDD_BAD_REFERENCE table.
* 
Foreign keys to be validated must be defined in the IPCSDD_FK_CHECK table.

Downloads data from the host system.
These sub processes are included when Get Host Data runs for the Pricing module:
