Issue/Introduction

The client would like to have a 74-million line report indexed, in CA View, where each line can be indexed.

Environment

Release : 14.0

Component : CA View

Resolution

The client defined a logical view containing page indexing criteria.

The client then ran SARBCH /INDEX against the report, and the job abended with a S878 condition, due to running out of REGION.

In this instance, the client had a 1 million page report, where 60 lines of each report was to be indexed.

The formula for the needed amount of REGION was defined as:

. (Length of field indexed on + 24) x (# of lines/page to be indexed) x (# of pages to be indexed)

. . (10 + 24) x (60 lns/pg) x (1,000,000 pgs) = 2040M REGION (> 2G)       <=== This is what caused the S878 abend, as less was allocated. 

Indexing with a report segment, with fewer lines, was possible:

. . (10 + 24) x (60 lns/pg) x (50,000 pgs) = 102M REGION     <=== This amount of REGION was available for use. 

Once a View logical view and index criteria are defined, reports with the name of the logical view will be indexed as they are collected by View.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In this instance, for resolution, the client is having the report created in smaller segments (50-60,000 pages), so that the indexing can be done.  

Note:
Here it is a SARBCH /INDEX job that received the S878 condition.
If the logical view is implemented, the next application job that creates a report that will use that indexing, will abend with a S878 condition, if not enough REGION is allocated.

The client deleted the report, recreated the report (in segments), had View collect the report, and the indexing was done without abends.
