XSCAN

Use the XSCAN command to scan a Fast Path/EP primary DEDB to locate index source segments and then produce an output data set containing index information.

You can scan a single area or multiple areas in an existing primary DEDB in either offline mode or online (IFP) mode.

You can use the XSCAN command with PFX and IBM native indexes if you provide the appropriate password. For more information about the authentication process, see BMC AMI Fast Path Indexer for IMS.
