|
||
<div><p>If you do not journal your access paths or do not take advantage
|
||
of system-managed access-path protection (SMAPP), consider other
|
||
system functions that reduce the chances of rebuilding access paths. </p>
|
||
<p>The system uses a file synchronization indicator to determine if an access
|
||
path needs to be rebuilt. Normally, the synchronization indicator is on, indicating
|
||
the synchronization of the access path and its associated data. When a job
|
||
changes a file that affects an access path, the system turns off the synchronization
|
||
indicator in the file. If the system ends abnormally, it must rebuild any
|
||
access path whose file has its synchronization indicator off.</p>
|
||
<p>You need to periodically synchronize the data with its access path to reduce
|
||
the number of access paths you must rebuild. There are several methods to
|
||
synchronize a file with its access path:</p>
|
||
<ul><li>Full file close. The last full (that is, not shared) system-wide close
|
||
performed against a file will synchronize the access path and the data.</li>
|
||
<li>Force access path. Specify the force-access-path (FRCACCPTH) parameter
|
||
on the create, change, or override database file commands.</li>
|
||
<li>Force write ratio of 2 or greater. Specify the force-write-ratio (FRCRATIO)
|
||
parameter on the create, change, or override database file commands.</li>
|
||
<li>Force end of data. Running the force-end-of-data operation in your program
|
||
can synchronize the file's data and its access path. (Some high-level languages
|
||
do not have a force-end-of-data operation. See your high-level language topic collection
|
||
for further details.)</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>Performing one of the methods mentioned previously synchronizes the access
|
||
path and the data. However, the next change to the data in the file can turn
|
||
the synchronization indicator off again. </p>
|
||
<p>Note that each of the methods can be costly in terms of performance; therefore,
|
||
use them with caution. Consider journaling access paths along with saving
|
||
access paths or using SMAPP as the primary means of protecting access paths.</p>
