Output from Stand-Alone Prefix Resolution

After running a Stand-Alone Prefix Resolution job, some work data sets and reports are created. These data sets will be used as inputs for other utilities or functions, and the reports can be used to check the job.

The outputs created are:

Work data sets for logically related databases
Stand-Alone Prefix Resolution optionally produces data sets that contain the information that is required to resolve the pointers between logically related databases. The data sets are DFSURWF3 and FABYW3nn, and they are used as input to the Stand-Alone Prefix Update or the IMS™ Database Prefix Update utility (DFSURGP0).

Unless you specify SPLITWF3=YES in the FABYIN control statement data set, DFSURWF3 is the only work data set. If you specify SPLITWF3=YES, both FABYW3nn and DFSURWF3 can be used as work data sets. When SPLITWF3=YES is specified, you can identify the data sets that were used by reviewing the Split WF3 Data Set Statistics report.

Work data set for secondary index databases
Stand-Alone Prefix Resolution optionally produces a data set that contains information that is required to create or re-create secondary index databases. This data set, DFSURIDX, is used as input to the IMS HISAM Reorganization Unload utility (DFSURUL0).
Reports
Stand-Alone Prefix Resolution produces five reports. Reports contain the following information:
  • Echo back of FABYIN control statements
  • Diagnostics and summary of logical parents without logical children
  • Statistics and distribution of logical parents based on the number of their logical children
  • Image of DFSURWF1 records of logical parents without logical children or logical children without logical parents
  • Statistics about split intermediate WF3 output data sets
