ALIAS
This is a location alias. This means at least one other location points to the same area as this location. This flag is used only for checkpoint and rollforward operations so that locations are neither checkpointed nor rolled forward more than once.
AWORK
This is an auxiliary work file location. Work files (that is, for sorts and temporary tables) are stored in the location.
CHECKPOINT
Checkpoint files are stored in the location.
DATA
User data (such as tables, indexes) is stored in the location.
DUMP
Dump files are stored in the location.
JOURNAL
Journal files are stored in the location.
ROOT
System data (that is, system catalogs) is stored in the location.
WORK
Work files (for sorts and temporary tables) are stored in the location.
Flags
Indicates the types of database files stored in the location
Physical Path
Displays the physical path of the location
