Reorganizing HALDB databases

One of the primary advantages of HALDB is its simplified and shortened reorganization process and the ability to reorganize HALDB databases online using the integrated HALDB Online Reorganization function.

Both PHDAM and PHIDAM HALDB databases can be reorganized online or offline. A PSINDEX HALDB can be reorganized only offline. Whether you are reorganizing your HALDB online or offline, the reorganization process is different from the reorganization processes used for other full-function databases.

Reorganizations of HALDB databases with logical relationships and secondary indexes do not require the execution of utilities to update these pointers. Instead, HALDB uses a self-healing pointer process to correct these pointers when they are used.
