Virtual storage access method (VSAM) Question:
What is RECOVERY and SPEED parameters in DEFINE CLUSTER command?
Answer:
RECOVERY (default ) and SPEED are mutually exclusive. Recovery performats the control areas during the initial dataset load, if the job fails, you can restatt but you must have a recovery routine already written to restart the job. SPEED does not preformat the CAs. It is recommended that you specify SPEED to speed up your initial data load.
