Use the DMBRedistribute API or the REDISTRIBUTE NODEGROUP command to redistribute QBIC feature data when a node is added to or removed from a nodegroup. The command places the QBIC feature data on the same node as the corresponding user data.
If the redistribution process returns an error, you can re-run the command with or without the CONTINUE parameter according to the instructions provided by the command response. This option instructs the system to continue from where it stopped, rather than starting from the beginning. The CONTINUE parameter should not be used the first time you run the REDISTRIBUTE NODEGROUP command after running DB2's REDISTRIBUTE command.
To maintain data integrity, redistribute one nodegroup at a time. Wait until one nodegroup has finished redistribution before starting another.
Using the API: The following example shows how to redistribute QBIC feature data in the nodegroup that is called groupone:
#include <dmbrdst.h> rc = DMBRedistribute(groupone,"continue");
Using the command line: The following example displays how the REDISTRIBUTE NODEGROUP command is used to redistribute data for the node called my_nodegroup using the CONTINUE parameter:
redistribute nodegroup my_nodegroup continue
