<h1 class="topictitle1">System-managed access-path protection</h1>
<div><p>System-managed access-path protection (SMAPP) allows you to use
some of the advantages of journaling without explicitly setting up journaling.
Use SMAPP to decrease the time it takes to restart your system after an abnormal
end.</p>
<p>SMAPP is a way to reduce the time for an iSeries™ server or independent disk pool
to restart after an abnormal end. An <span class="uicontrol">access path</span> describes
the order in which records in a database file are processed. A file can have
multiple access paths, if different programs need to see the records in different
sequences.</p>
<p>When the system or an independent disk pool ends abnormally, the system
must rebuild the access paths the next time you restart the system, or vary
on an independent disk pool. When the system must rebuild access paths, the
next restart or vary on operation takes longer to complete than if the system
ended normally.</p>
<p>When you use SMAPP, the system protects the access paths so the system
does not need to rebuild the access paths after an abnormal end. This topic
introduces SMAPP, describes SMAPP concepts, and provides setup and management
tasks.</p>

<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzakibenefits.htm">Benefits of SMAPP</a></strong><br />
System-managed access-path protection (SMAPP) can greatly reduce the amount of time it takes to restart your system or vary on an independent disk pool, after an abnormal end.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzakihowworks.htm">How SMAPP works</a></strong><br />
The purpose of system-managed access-path protection (SMAPP) is to reduce the amount of time it takes to restart the system or vary on an independent disk pool, after an abnormal end.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzakichoosesap.htm">How the system chooses access paths to protect</a></strong><br />
The system periodically examines access path exposure and estimates how long it would take to rebuild all the exposed access paths. If the rebuild time exceeds your target recovery times for access paths, the system selects additional access paths for protection.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzakieffectsperform.htm">Effects of SMAPP on performance and storage</a></strong><br />
System-managed access-path protection (SMAPP) is designed to have minimal affect to your system. Though it is minimal, SMAPP does affect your system's processor performance and auxiliary storage.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzakisyschanges.htm">How SMAPP handles changes in disk pool configuration</a></strong><br />
When you restart the system, the system checks to see if your disk pool configuration has changed. The system may change either the size of the SMAPP receiver or the placement of the receiver based on the change to the disk units.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzakismappapjourn.htm">SMAPP and access path journaling</a></strong><br />
In addition to using system-managed access path protection (SMAPP), you can choose to journal some access paths yourself by using the Start Journaling Access Path (STRJRNAP) command. This is
called <span class="uicontrol">explicit journaling</span>.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzakismappiasp.htm">SMAPP and independent disk pools</a></strong><br />
Use SMAPP to protect access paths for independent disk pools.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzakiusesmapp.htm">Start SMAPP or change SMAPP values</a></strong><br />
Use the Edit Recovery Access Path (EDTRCYAP) display to start or change values for system-managed access-path protection (SMAPP).</li>

You can display many types of status for SMAPP.</li>
