expiration of this time interval. Refer to the Lifecycle Director Archive Manager User Guide for information about setting pre-fetch retention periods in a database, and about executing the object management utility.

Functions

The DB2 Manager pre-fetch utility performs the following functions:

•It will process and validate a series of execution parameters from a SYSIN file, and an SQLIN row selection parameter which will govern execution of the utility. The utility will then obtain information from DB2 about the table from which the rows to be pre-fetched were migrated.

•It will scan the DB2 table, and select migrated rows for pre-fetching in the Archive Manager database which satisfy the selection criteria specified in the SYSIN dataset.

•For each selected row, a pre-fetch request will be passed to Archive Manager requesting that the object containing the selected row be copied from tape to disk, using the standard pre-fetch application program interface supplied by that component. If detailed print reporting has been requested an entry will be written to the report file giving details of the request passed to Archive Manager and the result of that request.

•When the number of requests accepted by Archive Manager has reached the batch size specified in the execution parameters, the program will issue a request to Archive Manager to process the batch. This will cause Archive Manager to sort all requests in the batch into the most efficient sequence for retrieval from tape, and to create disk copies of each object in the batch. Note that the same object may appear multiple times in each batch, if multiple rows within that object have been selected for pre- fetch processing. Archive Manager will ignore duplicate object requests in the batch.

•After all rows in the table have been processed in this manner, a report will be produced giving the total number of rows which have been pre- fetched.

JCL requirements
