The INITIALIZE parameter file is created when the $INITIALIZENEW option is specified in an update compilation and new structures have been added to the database description. No reorganization is required. The parameter file identifies the database and the disjoint structures that are to be initialized. The INITIALIZE parameter file is created on the control file family and has the following name:

      <control file usercode>DMINITIALIZE/
      <database name>/<control file level>

The value of the <control file level> variable is passed to the COMPILEDB WFL job or AUTOREORGDB WFL job with the INITIALIZE parameter, indicating that the INITIALIZE parameter is set. The specified control file level also is used to construct the title of the INITIALIZE parameter file. For example:

DB=*TESTDB AUDIT=SET INITIALIZE=21

In this case, the parameter file name is as follows:

*DMINITIALIZE/TESTDB/21
