The catalog initialization and maintenance utility (CACCATUT)

The catalog initialization and maintenance utility (CACCATUT) is an executable that creates or performs operations on a metadata catalog when the data server is stopped.

You can use the caccatut executable to perform one of the following operations when it runs:

• Create and initialize a version 11.3 sequential metadata catalog.
• Upgrade an existing pre-version 11.3 sequential metadata catalog to a version 11.3 sequential metadata catalog.
• Report on space utilization and any corruptions that might exist within the metadata catalog.
• Reorganize the contents of a sequential metadata catalog to reclaim unused space and, where possible, correct any corruptions that might exist.
• Create a version 11.3 sequential copy of a version 11.3 sequential metadata catalog.
• Load system objects into the metadata catalog.

You can set up your metadata catalogs manually. See the guidelines for estimating the size of the metadata catalog for detailed information.

The catalog initialization and maintenance utility is distributed in the IMS Remote Source container.
