Executing Specific RUNSTATS

The database statistics are automatically updated during the update process by calling the RUNSTATS utility for massively changed tables. So, there is usually no need to execute RUNSTATS after the update.

Backing Up the Database

Perform a full backup of the database.

Reorganizing the Database

Reorganizing the database now is optional. Only reorganize now if you have enough time. Otherwise, reorganize the database according to the rules of your preferred maintenance solution. Make sure that this solution properly identifies objects in AREO* state and schedules REORGs on them in order to ensure optimum performance.
