Carl,
Theese jobs are run by the DB server of the AS/400 and usually they
rebuild access paths. There are some events when the system rebuilds
ap's unattended. Example files with access path rebuild or after failure
and keyed files where opened during the failure the system rebuild their
ap's at or after IPL or at the first open of them.
Alsu, using the command: EDTRBDAP you can send to work ap's rebuilding
and this is done by the jobs you mentioned.
