Answer / guest
Secondary Index is used when we need to
* Access the IMS Database in an order other than its
primary hierarchical sequence
* Access a segment in the database directly without
supplying its complete concatenated key

I might add that batch processing thru a secondary index is
extremely slow with many IOs. It is best used in an online
transaction when just one record is being processed at a time.

Answer / sukanthi
Secondary indexes are based on any field (unique or non-
unique) in a IMS database. It provides for different
processing requirements other than the primary index key
sequence.
