Auto Define

During a restore, all clusters, alternate indexes, and paths are auto-defined by default. An IDCAMS DELETE/DEFINE provides an empty definition into which data is written. The DEFINE parameters are taken from the data set attributes and allocation characteristics that were captured by the EXPORT process. The original primary and secondary space allocations are used to allocate a cluster or alternate index; therefore all attribute and relationship information is reliably reproduced in the new definition.
