Secondary index DD statements

The DD statement for each IMS full-function secondary index or PSINDEX partition that is being built can be specified.

If a secondary index DD statement is not specified, IMS Index Builder tries to allocate the secondary index dynamically as follows:

  • For a PSINDEX, IMS Index Builder extracts the information from DBRC RECON.
  • For a non-partitioned index database, an IMS dynamic allocation member is required in the dynamic allocation library. If this member is not found, IMS Index Builder will stop.
