Using the LEAFDISTLIMIT and REPORTONLY options to determine when reorganization is needed

You can determine when to run REORG for indexes by using the LEAFDISTLIMIT and REPORTONLY options.

To determine when reorganization is needed:

1. Run the REORG INDEX utility and specify the LEAFDISTLIMIT option and the REPORTONLY option.
   REORG produces a report with one of the following return codes; but a REORG is not performed.

   1

   No limit met; no REORG performed or recommended.

   2

   REORG performed or recommended.

2. Optional: Alternatively, information from the SYSINDEXPART catalog table can tell you which indexes qualify for reorganization.
