8.2.5 Designing HiRDB file system areas for list RDAREAs

This section discusses the design considerations for HiRDB file system areas in which list RDAREAs are to be created.

Organization of this subsection
(1) Design considerations
(2) Design for improved performance

(1) Design considerations

A list is used to store temporary intermediate results of search processing; therefore, it does not need to be as reliable as other RDAREAs.

(2) Design for improved performance

You should create HiRDB file system areas for list RDAREAs on a hard disk separately from the ones used for the following HiRDB file system areas. In this way, you can distribute input/output operations when searching a list, thereby reducing the processing time.
