Converting to URI

Before converting a data area to the Unique Row Identifier (URI) format, ensure that it is stable. Recovery Files made prior to the conversion cannot be used after the conversion.

When converting to URI, the backup supplied to the DBUTLTY LOAD must have been created with RECID=NO specified.

In a data area using URI, all tables must be defined in CA Datacom/DB with the attribute RECOVERY=Y. When converting a data area to URI, if DBUTLTY LOAD encounters a table defined with RECOVERY=N, it loads the data area but does not perform the conversion to URI and issues the message: DB13040W - TABLE aaa LACKS RECOVERY INFO: AREA bbb PROCESS AS NON-URI.
