Reloading a DEDB offline with FPA

You can reload a DEDB by using the FPA Reload function.

Functions of Reload
The Reload function of FPA efficiently reloads a single DEDB area. It can also concurrently reload multiple DEDB areas without impacting all areas of a database.
Input and output for the Reload function
The Reload function is invoked by the RELOAD command in the HFPSYSIN DD control statement to reload multiple DEDB areas from the QSAM data sets.
Running the Reload function
FPA runs the Reload function as a standard z/OS® batch job. You must specify an EXEC statement and DD statements that define the input and output data sets in your JCL.
Region size requirements for the Reload function
The Reload function of FPA operates in a virtual storage region as z/OS batch job steps. HFPMAIN0 runs in 31-bit addressing mode.
DD statements for the Reload function
DD statements of the FPA Reload function determine the input and output data sets and specify how to run the Reload function.
Utility control statements for the Reload function
The utility control statements for the Reload function define the user description of the GLOBAL command, the RELOAD command, and the optional ALLOCATE, LOADCTL, REPORT, and THRESHOLD subcommands, all of which control the Reload process.
