Issue/Introduction

When running REORG and specifying DIVIDE PROCESSING 4 WAYS  there are not always 4 Unload and 4 Reload jobs.

 

Environment

Release: all supported releases

Resolution

The REORG utility reorganizes a database by unloading data from an area(s) and then reloading them into new area(s). It accomplishes this process by dividing the source and target databases into slices. Each slice consists of parallel Unload/Reload jobs depending on the parameter “DIVIDE PROCESSING x WAYS”. However depending on the original database size, the REORG utility may not generate an equal number of Unload/Reload jobs.

Examine the “REORG Status Report” section “Areas and Slices” to see how many Unload and Reload slices have been generated and their status.
