Database administrators traditionally image copy primary and secondary indices whenever databases are unloaded and reloaded -- adding complexity and cost to reorganizations and other maintenance tasks. Using image copies also lengthens recovery, reducing database availability. Dynamic Index Utility streamlines database maintenance and raises IT productivity. It eliminates the need to make image copies of indices and enables database administrators to add indices to databases without reorganizing.

Often reloading is done to take advantage of lower interest rates offered by other loans, and potential tax benefits. databases are typically the longest, most costly IMS procedures. Speed Unload and Speed Load reduce ongoing maintenance costs while shortening batch windows The time available for an intensive batch processing operation such as a disk backup. for reorganizations. In addition, these tools provide application program interfaces (APIs) that allow users broad access to high- speed input and output functions.
