Catalog Solution Rebuild While Open tips, tricks & requirements

Question

Requirements for Catalog Solution¿s REBUILD WHILEOPEN (RWO) and REBUILD WHILEOPEN REALLOCATE commands. Before RWO processing: ¿ You must be running Catalog Solution¿s current maintenance level, CSL 9.0.0 PTF EC90005. ¿ Maintenance associated with the following IBM APARs MUST be applied: OA19965, OA25278, OA28457, OA23588, and OA28244 (Note: No fix exists for APAR OA28244 as yet; target date is 10/16/09.) ¿ If processing a DB2 catalog, perform a full quiesce/stop of ALL DB2 tasks that access data in the catalog. ¿ Be aware that the processing of VOLCATs is currently not supported by RWO. ¿ If a catalog is VLF and/or ECS defined and shared, it MUST be VLF and/or ECS defined across every LPAR in the Sysplex. ¿ Prior to running RWO against a catalog defined with VLF and/or ECS, it MUST be removed from VLF and/or ECS on every LPAR in the Sysplex. Prior to RWO processing, run the following operator commands: ¿ Remove catalog from VLF and/or ECS: /RO *ALL,F CATALOG,ECSHR(REMOVE,catname) /RO *ALL,F CATALOG,NOVLF(catname) ¿ Verify the catalog was successfully removed from VLF and/or ECS: /RO *ALL,F CATALOG,ECSHR(STATUS,catname) /RO *ALL,F CATALOG,OPEN ¿ Unallocate and close the catalog: /RO *ALL,F CATALOG,UNALLOCATE(catname) and /RO *ALL,F CATALOG,CLOSE(catname) After RWO processing, run the following operator commands: ¿ Unallocate and close the catalog: /RO *ALL,F CATALOG,UNALLOCATE(catname) and /RO *ALL,F CATALOG,CLOSE(catname) ¿ Define the catalog back to VLF and/or ECS: /RO *ALL,F CATALOG,ECSHR(ENABLE,catname) /RO *ALL,F CATALOG,VLF(catname) ¿ Verify the catalog was successfully defined to VLF and/or ECS: /RO *ALL,F CATALOG,ECSHR(STATUS,catname) /RO *ALL,F CATALOG,OPEN Message was edited by: His Benevolence David Yates Message was edited by: Marta Woods
