Introduction to the image copy function
Use the image copy function to generate one or more image copies of a DEDB. The IMAGECOPY command executes the Fast Path Online Image Copy/EP product.
Many Fast Path Online Suite product functions provide the facility to create an image copy of the DEDB simultaneously with the execution of the function. An image copy is requested by using the IC subcommand with the function.
Specifying the IC subcommand with an online function creates an image copy by using Fast Path Online Image Copy/EP, and a license for the product is required.
Control region requirement - (ACCESS=UP)
To create an online image copy, you must define the database to the IMS Control Region with ACCESS=UP.
