Sort Work Areas

There are several separate, internal sorts performed by CA IDMS/DB Reorg. If you decide to assign your sort work areas to disk, you must adjust space requirements to accommodate the largest of the sort input files. The following figure illustrates which files are needed for each step. For each step, space requirements for sort work areas can be estimated by adding the space allocations for the sort input files listed with that step. Refer to your sort utility documentation to determine the sort space required for the given file sizes and formats. You can find information about estimating the space allocation for each file in the following figures.
