Overview of PFXAGEN
This section describes the batch utility, PFXAGEN, which provides a front-end process to IMS ACBGEN.
PFXAGEN generates PFX-related application control blocks (ACBs) for DBD and program specification block (PSB) registration. PFX-related ACBs are used for subsequent processing of Fast Path Indexer/EP, both in the IMS online environment and in offline processing. You must run PFXAGEN as an integral step in the PFX index registration process; running IMS ACBGEN is not sufficient.
PFXAGEN generates the ACBs for PFX-related PSBs and database descriptions (DBDs), and for non-PFX PSBs and DBDs. PFXAGEN invokes IMS PSBGEN to update all PFX-related PSBs. Use of the PROCSEQ keyword and shadow PCBs are also discussed in this section.
