Reorganization record (REORG)

DBRC creates a REORG record each time you reorganize a data set of a registered database or partition by using one of the following methods.

  • DEDB Alter utility (ALTRAREA function only)
  • HALDB Online Reorganization
  • HALDB alter reorganization
  • The HISAM Reorganization Reload utility
  • The HD Reorganization Reload utility

For a HALDB Online Reorganization, the REORG record indicates that the type of REORG is online, includes a stop time, and indicates if the reorganized data set can be used for recovery. DBRC creates a REORG record in the RECON data set for each database data set that you reorganize.

The REORG records that are created by the HALDB alter function are the same as the REORG records for a HALDB Online Reorganization, except for the addition of a flag that indicates that the records were created for HALDB alter.

Similarly, a REORG record is created for each area that is altered by the Fast Path DEDB Alter utility.
