The RMU Analyze Placement command provides a maintenance tool for analyzing row placement relative to index structures and generates a formatted display of this statistical information. Information is displayed selectively for any specified storage area. You can use the RMU Analyze Placement command to determine: o The maximum and average path length to a data record. (The maximum and average number of records touched to reach a data record.) o The estimated maximum I/O path length to a data record. o The estimated minimum I/O path length to a data record. o The frequency distributions for the database key (dbkey) path lengths, maximum I/O path lengths, and minimum I/O path lengths for specified indexes. o The distribution of data records on data pages in a storage area by logical area identifier (ID) and dbkey, the number of dbkeys needed to reach each data record, the maximum and minimum I/O path lengths needed to reach the data record, and the specific dbkey for the data record.
