Customizing Cross-System Image Manager for the Index Build extended performance function

The Index Build extended performance function uses facilities provided by the Cross-System Image Manager (XIM) to exploit the sysplex environment. The facilities that XIM provides include, but are not limited to, the communication among multiple instances of utility programs and the distribution and execution of utility program processes across all images in a sysplex. By using XIM, the Index Build extended performance function can realize improved workload distribution and reduced elapsed time.
