No utility I know to just rebuild the index. Also, if DIAGNOSE is failing due to OPEN errors, EXPORT is going to fail as well. What you need is a tool that can backup the catalog using EXCP. Then, DELETE/DEFINE the catalog and reload from your backup.
If you don't have a tool inhouse, contact me offline and we can see about a temporary code for our T-REX product that you can use. We literally install in minutes from an email attachment. Let me know if we can help. Larry Crilley Dino Software, Corp. http://www.dino-software.com/ 412-734-2853. TERADON - The World's First Online Repro Mergecat -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeff Horenstein Sent: Thursday, June 15, 2006 12:17 AM To: [email protected] Subject: CATINDEX A CATINDEX was accidentally deleted from a non-SMS volume. Surprisingly (to me) datasets cat'd in the related catalog can still be accessed. New vsam/nvsam datasets can be cat'd/deleted w/o apparent problems. DIAGNOSEs against the catalog get OPEN errors; yet EXAMINE DTEST of datasets cat'd in the catalog are clean. The VVDS is not happy, but vsam datasets on the volume pass DTEST (but not DIAG VVDS COMPAREDD -- "REASON: 31 - OPEN OF COMPARE DATA SET FAILED". I don't see a REBUILDCATINDEX parameter anywhere. I haven't tried EXPORT/IMPORT to a new cat, del/redef bad cat, then back to the redef'd cat. Will that work? Is there something else I can do?
