REORG (Parallel BACKUP)

The parallel REORG function of the CA Datacom/DB Utility (DBUTLTY) provides a way for you to more quickly back up a large data area. By executing parallel tasks, the REORG function completes faster than a Native backup. To be parallel, the INNUM= keyword must be greater than one (1).

The result of the parallel REORG backup is 1-25 sequential files. These files must be used as input to a data LOAD (see LOAD (Build a Data Area)). When using more than one file, use the FILEIN function for each (see FILEIN (Concatenate Input)). Using FILEIN causes the files to be loaded by the LOAD function that follows.

For information about DBUTLTY STATUS console command support for this function, see DBUTLTY STATUS.

For information about the impact of table partitioning on the REORG function, see The REORG Utility.
