Reorganization Controlled by Parameter

CA IDMS/DB Reorg's parameters allow you to control internal physical reorganization functions for sets and records and to specify where the reorganization is to be performed. By specifying parameters you can also interrupt CA IDMS/DB Reorg, stop and restart processing, and control its run time. These capabilities give you the power to perform a reorganization that is compatible with your processing environment and tailored to the way your applications access the database.

Using CA IDMS/DB Reorg's parameters, you can:

• Identify the area to be reorganized regardless of set linkage with other areas
• Specify the priority in which record types are placed on their target pages
• Identify the type of clustering for VIA sets
• Establish a page reserve for each area
• Monitor the reorganization process
• Direct the operational efficiency of CA IDMS/DB Reorg in your environment

Parameters and Commands include details about parameter-controlled reorganization capabilities.
