The CA View database is comprised of index and data file data sets.

• The data file data sets hold the report data, report index data, online panels, and banner page members.
• The index file data sets retain initialization parameter settings, user profile data, definition data, and report references.

Both index and data file data sets must be allocated for a new database. These data sets are allocated with the ADDDS INDEX and ADDDS DATA control statements of the SARDBASE utility.

Note: For more information about creating the database, including formulas for estimating both the DATA and INDEX areas and important details regarding database extent placement, see the ADDDS section of the SARDBASE Control Statements in the "Database Utilities" chapter in the Reference Guide.
