Issue/Introduction

Why does the SARDBASE ADDDS Utility not set the requested blocksize (BLKSIZE)?
 

Environment

CA View - All Releases
CA Deliver - All Releases

Resolution

Due to the CA View (and CA Deliver) product architectures, all extents of a database use the same SARDBASE/RMODBASE ADDDS BLKSIZE as is used for the first extent allocated.

The BLKSIZE from the first extent is used regardless of what is in the BLKSIZE field on any subsequent ADDDS requests.
