Parameters for VSAM AIXS Without DEFER

Specify one or more of the following parameters only if you want to change a particular value for the cluster from that which is found on the archive medium. If a value is given at both the cluster and component level (for example, ALLOC= and DALLOC=), the value specified at the data or index level will take precedence over the cluster value, just as IDCAMS does when you issue a DEFINE. See the IBM publication Access Method Services Reference for a more complete description of the following parameters.

AIXNAME=

Specify this parameter when you want to restore a specific alternate index from the catalog information archived with the base cluster. The name given on this parameter must be the alternate index name that was present when the base cluster was archived. The DSNAME parameter must be specified with the base cluster name that contains the definition. The base cluster is NOT restored with this command — only the specific alternate index is. If you are attempting to restore a physical alternate index, it cannot be specified with this parameter (it must be on its own RESTORE command and specified in the DSNAME parameter). This parameter can be used when you want to restore an alternate index with new attributes. Normally if a base cluster is being restored with its alternate indexes, any parameters defining new attributes are assigned only to the base cluster. The alternate index is restored with the same attributes it was archived with. If you want to change the alternate index you can specify the following:

RESTORE DSN=base.cluster.name,CISZ=4096,
    NOAIXDEF                                 don't define AIX(S)
RESTORE DSN=base.cluster.name,
    AIXNAME=aix.name,                        alternate index name
    BUFFER=32000,                            new bufferspace
    NEW=new.aix.name                         new name for AIX

AIXDEF

This parameter causes CA Disk to redefine all of the alternate indexes associated with the base cluster when the cluster is restored. This is the default option unless sysparm VSAIXDEF is specified with a value of N.

NOAIXDEF

This parameter causes CA Disk to restore only the base cluster without redefining any of its alternate indexes.

BLDINX

This parameter causes CA Disk to invoke IDCAMS to rebuild any alternate indexes (BLDINDEX) that CA Disk can define for a base cluster. This is the default option unless sysparm VSBLDINX is specified with a value of N. This parameter is ignored if a physical alternate index is being restored.

NOBLDINX

This parameter causes CA Disk to bypass the call to IDCAMS to rebuild the alternate index. This parameter is ignored if a physical alternate index is being restored.
