Alternate indexes (AIX®)
- When an offline or "SHARP" online backup is restored, or
no backup is restored by CICS® VR:
- Forward recovery and batch backout automatically update any alternate
indexes defined for a VSAM sphere that are part of the upgrade set.
- When an online "Fuzzy" backup is restored by CICS VR:
- Forward recovery automatically removes alternate indexes that are part
of the upgrade set and are reusable prior to forward recovery processing.
The alternate indexes are then rebuilt after forward recovery completes.
- Forward recovery can process a VSAM sphere with non-unique AIXs.
