Value

Description

GLOBAL

Create a consistent timestamp for copies of all databases in the entire job step. Writing image copies is delayed until the utility obtains DBRC authorization for all databases in the job step.

DBD

Create a separate timestamp for copies of each database data set included in the job step. Writing an image copy begins as soon as the utility obtains DBRC authorization for the database.

GROUP

Create a consistent timestamp for copies of all databases for each GROUP control statement in the job step. Writing image copies is delayed until the utility obtains DBRC authorization for all databases in each GROUP control statement of the job step.

Information
Example

Assume two groups in the image copy job step, GROUP A and GROUP B. All databases in GROUP A will have the same output image copy timestamp and all databases in GROUP B will have a consistent timestamp.

Default

CONSIST(GLOBAL) if SNAPSHOT(P) or SNAPSHOT(R) or DSSNAP(R) is specified on the GLBL statement; otherwise, CONSIST(DBD)
