Usage

This command replaces any previous list of dbspaces with a list of all available dbspaces. Dbspaces that are dedicated to tenant database are not available. The list of available dbspaces is stored in the sysautolocate system catalog table.

The AUTOLOCATE configuration parameter or session environment variable must be set to a positive integer.

Example

The following command adds all non-critical dbspaces to the list of available dbspaces for automatic location and fragmentation for tables in the potential_cust database:

EXECUTE FUNCTION task("autolocate database anywhere", "potential_cust");
