Creating the Page Indexes: Online and Batch

After you define page indexing criteria for a report, CA View automatically creates the page index when it archives subsequent versions of the report.

You can manually create a page index for a report that is already archived or create additional indexes for a report. Because the report must be on primary DASD, you may have to load it back to DASD first. If the report was already backed up to tape or optical disk, it is backed up again with its index. If you do not want the reports to be written to tape or optical again, you can use the DI command to delete any indexes you created.

You can create a page index in batch or online mode:

• In batch mode, you submit a SARBCH job using the INDEX control statement.

  Note: For more information about SARBCH INDEX, see the Reference Guide.

• In online mode, use the I command (see the following section).
