FDRREORG Overview | Features | Benefits | User Experiences
FDRREORG provides an easy and automated method of reorganizing
VSAM, IAM and PDS datasets.
With FDRREORG, datasets are only reorganized when they need it. FDRREORG eliminates
the manual effort of running reports to see how many CI/CA splits a cluster has
or how much available space there is in a PDS and manually submitting batch jobs
to REPRO or IEBCOPY the files.
When traditional methods of reorganization are used, dataset reorganization is
usually scheduled as a weekly job based upon some previous experience with the
file. In many instances reorganizations take place when there is only a marginal
benefit, but emergency reorganizations are required because unforecasted changes
have occurred resulting in wasted space and poor performance. FDRREORG will eliminate
these problems.
FDRREORG can select files based upon their need to be reorganized. The management
of all VSAM, IAM and PDS files can be centralized, therefore eliminating the
time consuming training of individual departments on how and when to reorganize
the files.
Using the Parallel Backup option, FDRREORG significantly reduces backup and reorganization
time for large multi-volume VSAM and IAM files.
FDR's REORG facility can be transparently invoked when IEBCOPY is called to compress
PDS datasets without modifications to your operating system. IEBCOPY overhead
is reduced by 50 to 98%. |
