Justin,

Its not rebuilding the access path, but most likely its building an access path for the record selection and order by that is being used by the ODBC job (QZDASOINIT). You can use DBMON to figure out what index is lacking and why it is being built, if you then build this index, the access to the data will then go through this new access path (Logical File) instead of building an access path or index on the fly.

Hopefully someone can answer this for me in easy terms.

Why would a system rebuild access paths for files when being used by
many ODBC (QZDASOINIT) jobs?  For example, the jobs will sometimes go in
to an IDX-xxxxxxx where xxxxxxx = the name of a file.  The online help
shows that the IDX status means it's rebuilding the index (access path)
to whichever file it's listing.

What prompts the rebuild?  Is there somewhere we could go look to see
why it's doing that?  Additionally, in Performance Navigator there's a
chart for Index Rebuilds/second - the online help for describing why is
pretty vague there also.

Please advise - thanks in advance for your help and for not biting my
head off if this is basic and I just never learned it - hah!
