There are three types of input files:
BADB
These are source files. If this option is selected and there are no input files specified, the input files used are the same files that were used to build the database and are processed in the same order as the build order. If there are no build files, Autoaction Database Manager looks for a file with the same name as the database and an extension of .bld.
SPOLOG
These are Operations Sentinel log files. You can use the Operations Sentinel Log Viewer to create a log file that contains only the messages needed to verify your database. If this option is selected, and there are no specified input files, it attempts to find a file with the same name as the database and a .slg or .spo extension.
TEXT
These are ASCII text files created by the user. The text of the messages must appear as it would on the console screen. If this option is selected, and there are no input files specified, it attempts to find a file of the same name as the database and a .txt extension.
The input files are treated in this format regardless of their extension.
