This feature allows the Image Copy utility to bypass the performance of a scheduled batch image copy task for an object (a database, partition, or area) if the object has not been updated since the last image copy was performed. The purpose of the feature is to avoid taking unnecessary and extraneous image copies, saving processing and data storage resources with no compromise to data integrity.

The Conditional Image Copy feature works with the stand-alone batch image copy function of the BMC Image Copy utility and the Advisor components in the Database Management console. It requires a license for the BMC AMI Backup and Recovery for IMS product.

Warning

Important

The value of the SMARTIC keyword enables or disables the Conditional Image Copy feature and must be used in combination with the Skip IC if no updates parameter in the Database Management console. When the SMARTIC(Y) keyword is set in the utility, the Skip IC if no updates parameter selects the specific object (partition, or area, database) or group of objects (database group, IMSPLEX, host) for which conditional image copy processing will be performed. When the SMARTIC(N) keyword is set, all other Conditional Image Copy parameters are ignored and no conditional image copy processing occurs.

The Conditional Image Copy feature cannot be used with the IC Triggering by CA feature; if you specify SMARTIC(Y), do not specify SMARTCA(Y).

Uses

Optional in the global options module and on the GLBL control statement.
