As data files and structures grow more complex, the use of alternate indexes becomes more important in managing your batch processing window and improving data availability. Using alternate indexes enables you to access data faster and improves the efficiency of applications processing.
Using current solutions such as IDCAMS takes a long time and forces IT staff to run Separate commands for each alternate index.
VSAM Quick Index is a high-performance, low-overhead tool that builds alternate indexes for VSAM KSDS and ESDS base clusters faster than IDCAMS BLDINDEX. This reduces batch processing time and CPU utilization while improving data availability.
