CA IDMS/DB Reorg Processing--VM/ESA Environment

The following example illustrates a sample way to execute CA IDMS/DB Reorg. It shows the steps needed to validate parameters, to obtain the Audit/Analysis Report for estimating work files, and to reorganize your database. The example is divided into these four processes:

  1. Defining the areas which are being copied by running IDMSBCF.
  2. Gathering information by running CA IDMS/DB Reorg to validate parameters and to obtain the Audit/Analysis Report.
  3. Allocating the work files.
  4. Reorganizing the database.

See Summary of Procedures for Operating CA IDMS/DB Reorg for a summary of the procedures. The summary includes the optional STOPAFTER and RESTART parameters, that allow you to run CA IDMS/DB Reorg in increments.
