Before you configure for keyed replication, verify that the file or files you for which you want to use keyed replication are actually eligible.
Do the following to verify that the attributes of a file are appropriate for keyed replication:
On a command line, type VFYKEYATR (Verify Key Attributes). The Verify Key Attributes display appears.
Do one of the following:
To verify a file in a library, specify a file name and a library.
To verify all files in a library, specify *ALL and a library.
To verify files associated with the file entries for a data group, specify *MIMIXDFN for the File prompt and press Enter. Prompts for the Data group definition appear. Specify the name of the data group that you want to check.
Press Enter.
A spooled file is created that indicates whether you can use keyed replication for the files in the library or data group you specified. Display the spooled file (WRKSPLF command) or use your standard process for printing. You can use keyed replication for the file if *BOTH appears in the Replication Type Allowed column. If a value appears in the Replication Type Defined column, the file is already defined to the data group with the replication type shown.
