Select to use this index as the clustering index for the table, or clear this checkbox to specify that this index will not be used as the clustering index of the table. This checkbox is disabled if the CLUSTER option has already been specified for another index on the table.

Note: Historically, for partitioned tables the partitioning index had to also be the clustering index. Starting with Control Center V8.2, if the server is DB2 UDB for z/OS V8 or higher, the clustering attribute can be assigned to a secondary index and the Partition Management tab is no longer dependent on the CLUSTER check box.

A read-only field indicating if the index will be built at a later time. You cannot change this value when you alter an index.

Specify an active 4 KB buffer pool. The default buffer pool is the databases buffer pool. If the index cannot use the database's buffer pool by default, then BP0 is used.

Important: The privilege set must contain SYSADM authority, SYSCTL authority, or USE privileges on the specified buffer pool.

Specify the maximum addressability of each piece (data set) for a nonpartitioned index (PIECESIZE). Not applicable for partitioned indexes.

Select to allow full image or concurrent copies and the ability to recover on the index.

Type an integer between 12 and 4194304, inclusive (SECQTY). Specifies the minimum secondary space allocation for a DB2-managed data set. If you specify 0, DB2 cannot extend the data set. Enables DB2 to extend the data set for the index if necessary.

Select to erase the associated data sets when you drop this index.

Select to explicitly manage free space in the index space.

Specify a value from 0 to 255 that designates to leave a page of free space when index entries are created.

Specify a value from 0 to 99 to define a percentage of free space to leave in each nonleaf page and leaf page when entries are added to the index or partition.

Select to define group buffer pool caching.

Specifies to write updated pages to the group buffer pool when more than one DB2 member has the index or partition open and at least one member has the index open for an UPDATE operation. Important: This setting is ignored and no pages are cached if the group buffer pool is defined for cross-invalidation use only.

Specifies to cache pages in the group buffer when read in from DASD.

Important: This setting is ignored and no pages are cached if the group buffer pool is defined for cross-invalidation use only.

Specifies the ASCENDING attribute for the selected new column.

Specifies the DESCENDING attribute for the selected new column.

Optional. Select this check box if you want the varying length string columns to be padded with a blank to their maximum length. This check box is disabled if there are no varying length string columns selected to be included in the index.
