Implementing snapshot technology for the Image Copy utility

The Image Copy utility includes the BMC SNAPSHOT UPGRADE FEATURE for IMS (SUF) component at no additional cost. SUF enables the use of the Snapshot Copy function and the Instant Snapshot Copy function of the Image Copy utility. SUF provides a subset of the functions and features of the EXTENDED BUFFER MANAGER for IMS (XBM) for IMS product.

When you install a product that includes the Image Copy utility, the Installation System will also install XBM during the installation session. You must customize and implement the SUF component of XBM to use it with the Image Copy utility.

For more information about configuration tasks that apply to XBM and SUF, see the EXTENDED BUFFER MANAGER and SNAPSHOT UPGRADE FEATURE User Guide.
