Specifying Eliminate Duplicates and Index Escalation options
These options are applicable if you are generating corrective actions. They are used to remove redundant utilities and to control whether non-index type utilities are escalated from index or index partition to the table space or table space partition.
An example of these options may be found in the following figure.
Example of options to eliminate duplicates and set index escalation
IX Escalate . . . Y (Y/N/A - Escalate IX's to TS's during generation)
IX Copy . . . . . N (Y/N - Copy indexes)
Remove dup actions Y (Y/N - Eliminate duplicate actions)
Detect inline opts Y (Y/N - Eliminate actions based on inline options)

Specify these options as shown in the following table.
Eliminate Duplicates and Index Escalation options
Option | Description |
|---|---|
IX Escalate | Some utilities (like QUIESCE) cannot run against indexes. To run these utilities against the corresponding table spaces instead, when an index receives an exception, type Y in the IX Escalate field. Otherwise, type N to skip that utility for indexes. Use A to process the corresponding table space always, even if the utility supports indexes. |
IX Copy | This option tells BMCTRIG to generate index copies whenever the exception specifies an IBM copy. To qualify for an index copy, the copy must be copyable. You can make an index copyable with an ALTER command. If you specify IX Copy Y and IX Escalate Y, BMCTRIG generates copies for copyable indexes and escalates non-copyable indexes to the table space level. |
Remove dup actions | Typing Y automatically removes any actions that are duplicates. (A duplicate is the same services and syntax in the same order including subsets.) For more information, see Duplicate actions. |
Detect inline opts | This option indicates whether BMCTRIG should eliminate actions if they are functionally duplicated by an inline option of another service. |
