Restrictions and considerations for calling HD Pointer Checker from IMS Database Recovery Facility
The following restriction and consideration apply when the HD Pointer Checker utility is called from IMS Database Recovery Facility.
- If HIDAM primary index databases and secondary index databases are built by IMS Index Builder during an IMS Database Recovery Facility job, string "N/A" is set to the index database data set name fields in HD Pointer Checker reports. For the data set names, see IMS Index Builder reports.
- If secondary index databases with an overflow data set are built by IMS Index Builder during an IMS Database Recovery Facility job, HASH Check cannot be done for the pointers that point to logical records in the overflow data set.
