OMAPI

The OMAPI keyword is valid with the Online Reorg and Copy functions.

IMS type-2 commands are sent to the IMS control region using the Operations Manager API. These commands are more efficient than the traditional type-1 commands and hence can reduce the outage window in an Online REORG job.

To be able to send these commands, you must have active OM and SCI address spaces.

The following table describes the keyword.
