Saving access paths
You can reduce the time of access path recovery by saving access paths. To save access paths, you can use the access path (ACCPTH) parameter on the Save Changed Objects (SAVCHGOBJ), Save Library (SAVLIB), and Save Object (SAVOBJ) commands.
Normally, the system saves only descriptions of logical files; however, the system saves access paths under the following conditions:
- ACCPTH(*YES) is specified.
- All physical files under the logical file are being saved and are in the same library.
- The logical file is MAINT(*IMMED) or MAINT(*DLY).
The logical file itself is not saved when you have specified the ACCPTH(*YES) parameter. You must save the logical file explicitly.
