PARALLEL
The PARALLEL keyword is valid with the UNLOAD, BUILD, RELOAD, REORG (Online Reorg function and Reorg function), and GROUP commands.
You can specify this option in the environment setup member (DLIGSET0) or in PLUSIN. The following table describes the keyword.
Parallel processing keyword
To do this | Specify this in PLUSIN |
|---|---|
Process the files in parallel mode. | PARALLEL(YES) |
Do not process the files in parallel mode. | PARALLEL(NO) |
Internal default: YES | |
For best performance, BMC recommends that you specify PARALLEL(YES), or accept it as the default, whenever possible. The PARALLEL(YES) specification enables parallel processing but does not explicitly force parallel processing. When a utility finds PARALLEL(YES) in a job step (whether it is accepted as a default or specified in the PLUSIN control statement data set), the utility will process the files in parallel mode when that is the most efficient processing method.
