<h1 class="topictitle1">How SMAPP works</h1>
<div><p>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.</p>
<p>It can take much longer than normal to restart the system when the system
ends abnormally because of something like a power interruption. Also, if you
are using an independent disk pool, the next vary on of the independent disk
pool can take much longer than normal.</p>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Access paths</h4><p>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>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">How SMAPP works with abnormal ends</h4><p>When the system
restarts after an abnormal end, the system rebuilds access paths that were
open for updating at the time of the abnormal end. Rebuilding access paths
contributes to this long restart time. Likewise, when you vary on an independent
disk pool, the system rebuilds access paths that were open for updating at
the time the independent disk pool ended abnormally. The system does not rebuild
access paths that are specified as MAINT(*REBLD) when you create them. When
protecting access paths with SMAPP, the system uses information that it has
collected to bring access paths up to date, rather than rebuilding them.</p>
<p>You
can specify the target time for rebuilding access paths after the system ends
abnormally. The target time is a goal that the system does its best to achieve.
The actual recovery time for access paths after a specific failure may be
somewhat more or less than this target.</p>
<p>The target recovery time for
access paths can be specified for the entire system or for individual disk
pools. The system dynamically selects which access paths to protect to meet
this target. It periodically estimates how long it will take to recover access
paths that are open for change.</p>
<p> For new systems, the system-wide
recovery time for access paths is 50 minutes, which is the default. If you
move from a release that does not provide the SMAPP function to a release
that supports SMAPP, the system-wide recovery time for access paths is also
set to 50 minutes.</p>
