Shadow Initialization function overview
After using the Prepare function to create the Restructure Plan data set, you use the Fast Path Online Restructure/EP Shadow Initialization function to initialize (format) the primary shadow (new) area data sets.
This required action enables the primary shadow area data sets for processing by the Restructure function.
If you defined a secondary shadow area data set during prepare processing, you must also use the Shadow Initialization function to initialize the secondary shadow area data set. This secondary shadow data set is a copy of the primary shadow area data set, which can be used for backup and recovery purposes. For more information, see Using secondary shadows for recovery.
