Processing Overview

As GVEXPORT executes, the information necessary to redefine a cluster is written to the output file, followed by the data. Key-sequenced clusters are copied sequentially, allowing a subsequent restore to eliminate any CA or CI splits except when using the SAVECOMP parameter in which case hardware compressed files are backed up in their native compressed format.

Messages are printed that indicate the clusters exported, the catalog in which they were defined, their disk volumes, and record counts.
