Have you ever experienced a hard crash of your iSeries?
If you have, you have then experienced the frantic calls from your users
saying "I'm running (insert job here) and it's taking FOREVER".
Well, that's because the iSeries is rebuilding the access paths for logicals
as they are being opened by the users. In my opinion, this is not the best
way for them to be rebuilt. Thankfully, IBM has provided a solution:
EDTRBDAP - Edit Rebuild of Access Paths
This command shows the rebuild schedule for the access paths, and lets you
choose how you want them done. Whether you let some remain as *OPN where
they are rebuilt when first accessed, or you give a sequence number, and
rebuilding is done by the system is up to you.
I have found that this is an extremely valuable command.
