EXPORTING › EXPORT Optional Parameters › AIX | NOAIX

AIX | NOAIX

The AIX parameter requests that alternate index and path definitions and alternate index data be exported along with the base cluster. NOAIX requests that only the definitions of alternate indexes and paths be exported along with the base cluster, not the alternate index data. NOAIX can be used to reduce the backup window when the alternate index can be totally rebuilt from the cluster data.

Usage Rules

The following usage rules apply to the AIX and NOAIX parameters:

• AIX is the default unless the GVPARMS utility is used to change the default to NOAIX.
• Alternate index and path definitions are always written to the export file.
• If NOAIX is specified at EXPORT time, the alternate index must be rebuilt manually using the CA FAVER's GVBLDIX utility or IDCAMS DBLINDEX command at RESTORE time.
