Cluster and AIX Selection

The EXPORT method determines which clusters and AIXs (Alternate Indexes) from the chosen catalog are exported. Each EXPORT job uses one of the following methods:

Method

Function

CATALOG

STGROUP

Exports all clusters and alternate indexes that reside on the SMS storage group specified.

VOLUME

Exports all clusters and alternate indexes that reside on one of the listed volumes.

MCTLIST

Exports all clusters listed in a sequential file created by MASTERCAT.

CLUSTER

Exports all clusters and alternate indexes named in subsequent cluster name statements. Cluster names can be specified in a generic form, allowing similarly named objects to be referenced with one statement.
