Re: RGZPFM Question

Haven't played with the EDTRBDAP command, so I can't answer that question.
V5R3 has added a few options to the RGZPFM command.  Like the ability to 
stop/restart the reorg, reorg while active, etc.  And I think there are 
some enhancements to iSeries Navigator to manage that.

RGZPFM Question






Folks,

 

Over the holiday one of our developers deleted 20,000,000 records from a
physical file as they were no longer needed.  This HUGE physical file ( 
even
after 20 M records deleted) has 19 logicals built over it.  On Sunday
morning, a scheduled job ran (which was not planned), that did a RGZPFM 
over
this mess.  The end result was that it put an 870 8-Way running SMP on 
it's
knees for 13 hours.   No matter what I tried, I could not get the
IDX-<access path name> running under QDBSRVxx jobs to ease up.

 

I did find the following Knowledge Base document (after the fact):

bb5f5d63273150862565c2007ce9e5?OpenDocument

 

Now for my $64 K questions:  Had I used the EDTRBDAP command, could I have
put the active access path rebuilds on hold?   Would the active IDX 
entries
have to have completed before the *HLD entries would have taken effect? I
am trying to understand how I could have got this under control in the 
least
amount of time.

 

Any and all comment appreciated.  Thanks!
