RDE maintenance at initial database load

Integrity Checker stores the DMB information that IMS used to load the database in an RDE, and refers that DMB information as the correct DMB information.

When one of the following tools is used for the initial load of a database, Integrity Checker automatically creates an RDE for the database:
  • IMS HISAM Reorganization Reload utility
  • IMS HD Reorganization Reload utility
  • IMS Database Reorganization Expert
    • IPR Reload Utility
    • Smart Reorg Driver with the REORGINPUT=ULDS option
  • IMS High Performance Load
  • IMS Online Reorganization Facility
  • IMS Fast Path Advanced Tool of IMS Fast Path Solution Pack
If a database is initially loaded with another load application that runs with PROCOPT=L, Integrity Checker does not create an RDE; you must manually create an RDE by using the LICON utility. However, if an RDE does not exist for the database and the runtime option to automatically create an RDE is specified in the global option module (the RDEBUILD=Y option), Integrity Checker creates an RDE automatically.
