    FF GENJCL member name
    Specify the skeleton member name to be used for the index rebuild utility when rebuilding indexes associated with full function and HALDB indexes. If the Use FF for HALDB option is set to Y, then this member is also used for HALDB ILDS and PINDEX processing.
    Use FF for HALDB
    Specify Y if you want to use the FF GENJCL skeleton member for processing HALDB ILDS and PINDEX; specify N if you do not want to do this.
    HALDB GENJCL member name
    Specify the skeleton member name to be used for processing HALDB ILDS or PINDEX. If the Use FF for HALDB option is set to Y, then you must leave this field blank.
    FP GENJCL member name
    Specify the skeleton member name to be used for Fast Path secondary indexes. If you do not want FP secondary indexes processed, leave this field blank.
    Rebuild even if recoverable
    Specify whether you always want indexes rebuilt after the recovery of the target database. Specify Y to always rebuilt indexes. Specify N to rebuild indexes only if they cannot be recovered.
    Rebuild HALDB on recover to current
    Specify whether you want the HALDB ILDS and PINDEX rebuilt even when the partition is being recovered to current. Usually, the ILDS and PINDEX do not need to be rebuilt in this situation. Specify Y to rebuild the HALDB ILDS and PINDEX on recovery to current. Specify N to rebuild the HALDB ILDS and PINDEX only when indicated.
    Delete/Define PDS DSN
    Specify the name of a PDS data set that contains IDCAMS statements. These statements are used to delete and redefine the data sets being recovered before running the recovery utility.

    Leave this field blank if you do not want IMS Recovery Expert to build the steps to delete and define indexes prior to a rebuild.

    Displays the concatenation of data sets for GENJCL member selection.
