15. Endevor’s use of USS Potential uses : As a base file
As a source output library
NOT as delta file …. Why Would We ?
In your processors, of course

ELEMENT CATALOG DESCRIPTION

18. CATALOG Indexed by (long) element name and type
Alternate index on element name in MCF
Location segments
Selection data

19. CATALOG One catalog per C1DEFLTS table
Built once only: 400K elements in 10 minutes (was 22 hours on 1st beta version)
Updated when MCFs are updated
Excellent RLS/LSERV candidate

20. CATALOG Optimized Searches Only element name use catalog lookup
Only SYS/SBS with wild element name use MCF info
Avoid wildcards on 1st byte where possible
THE MORE YOU QUALIFY, THE FASTER THE QUERY.

ACMQ 4.0 build
for new ACMQ users

26. ACMQ build
Mandatory step to populate ROOT/XREF files, this can take a few hours !
Determine BASE/DELTA library type and optimize for conversion.
Test conversion using release 3.9 cloned data to see what performs best
Swap (temporarily if necessary) to best performing dataset type and build ACMQ data
Use permanent files, better if x37 occurs
Convert back to old type if desired
