IMS Catalog support for COPY

To copy IMS Catalog APPLCTNs and DBs from the IMS control region to a DELTA List, you can use either the DELTA IMS online interface or the DELTA IMS CNTL library members DLA#BCP1 and DLA#BCP2.

IMS Catalog resources copied into a DELTA List are RELOAD elements only. For any other element type (for example, REVISE, ADD, or DELETE) in the DELTA List, a check error condition occurs and the copy does not execute.

DELTA IMS copies IMS Catalog DBs and APPLCTNs from IMS when IMS catalog resources are specified (for example, DFSCP*, DFSCD*, DFSCX000, DFSCP0001).

In contrast, DBs and APPLCTNs are not copied in the following cases:

  • DBs are not copied if a COPY operation requests all IMS DBs.

  • APPLCTNs are not copied if a COPY operation requests all IMS APPLCTNs.

If the DELTA IMS repository is active when a new configuration is created, IMS catalog resources are not written to the DELTA IMS repository. This is because, during IMS restart, IMS catalog resources are dynamically defined.
