An on-line reorganization facility (ORF) uses index data-spaces that point
to other data-spaces, referred to as data data-spaces, to efficiently
track and coordinate information about the data-elements in an original
data-space operated upon by a reorganization process. A relative base
address of a data-element in an index data-space can be derived from a
relative base address of a data-element in an original data-space, and
vice versa. An index data-space data-element contains a location of a
data-element in a data data-space that tracks change information related
to a corresponding data-element in the original data-space. Tracked
changes are later applied to the newly reorganized data-space to assure
consistency and integrity of the data. Tracked changes include the
location in the original data-space where the change occurred and a flag
indicting the type of change.
