Reference : PROUTIL Utility : PROUTIL MVSCH qualifier
 

PROUTIL MVSCH qualifier

Frees disk space by moving schema. Primarily used after converting a database to a new release.

Syntax

proutil db-name -C mvsch

Parameters

db-name
Specifies the name of the converted database.

Notes

*After conversion, it is possible to move data into new areas by using PROUTIL dump and load or bulkload qualifiers, the Database Administration tool, the Database Dictionary, or ABL code. However, areas will continue to hold disk space after the removal of data, because the schema remains. Once the area's schema is moved by using PROUTIL MVSCH, the area can be truncated.
*You must truncate the database's BI file before using PROUTIL MVSCH.
*Always back up the database before using PROUTIL MVSCH.
Caution: PROUTIL with the MVSCH qualifier is a nonrecoverable utility. If the execution fails, you cannot connect to the database.
