NAME

sfsadmin reorganize file - reorganizes the records of an entry-sequenced (sequential) file in order to reclaim space

SYNOPSIS

sfsadmin reorganize file -server servername filename [-indices]

ARGUMENTS

-server servername Specifies the name of the file server. The name must be registered with the DCE Directory Service. If the -server option is not specified, the default is the server defined by the environment variable ENCINA_SFS_SERVER. 

filename Specifies the name of the file to be reorganized. 

[-indices] Rebuilds the active secondary indices. If the -indices option is not specified, the secondary indices are marked inactive. 

DESCRIPTION

The sfsadmin reorganize file command reorganizes the primary area of an entry-sequenced file, and if the -indices option is specified, rebuilds all active secondary indices. An entry-sequenced file does not automatically reclaim space when its records are modified or deleted.  The file must be reorganized in order to reclaim space. The records are assigned new entry sequence numbers (ESNs). 

EXAMPLE

The following command reclaims space in the entry-sequenced file MerchandiseOrders and rebuilds its active secondary indices:

% sfsadmin reorganize file MerchandiseOrders -indices

PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
