HDB Housekeeping performs tasks to re-organize and clean up your HDB environment:
  1. Submit HDB Housekeeping JCL.

    Run HDB Housekeeping periodically to delete expired HDB data sets and to re-organize the HDB Register.

  2. Repair HDB Register using VERIFY command.

    The IDCAMS VERIFY command is used to repair the end-of-data-set information in the VSAM Catalog for the HDB Register. Use repair if message IEC161I is being issued repeatedly. This condition is usually caused by an earlier HDB dialog or batch request that failed.
