Implementing the Conditional Image Copy feature

You can implement the Conditional Image Copy feature using Conditional Image Copy parameters in the console and setting the SMARTIC keyword for the Image Copy utility.

To set Conditional Image Copy parameters in the console

  1. In the Navigation window, right-click the object (host, IMSPLEX, database group, database, partition, or area) for which you want to manage parameters.
  2. Choose Configuration > Maintain Parameters.
  3. In the tree at the left side of the Maintain Parameters window, select the Conditional IC branch.
  4. Set values for the Conditional Image Copy parameters as follows:
    • To activate the Conditional Image Copy feature, set the Skip IC if no updates parameter to Yes.
    • To control the maximum number of days that can elapse before the Conditional Image Copy feature allows a scheduled batch image copy to be performed (regardless of whether database updates have occurred since the last image copy was performed), set the Perform IC if 'nn' days since last IC parameter to the number of days.
  5. Close the Maintain Parameters window, and click Yes to confirm that you want to save your changes.

To set the SMARTIC keyword

To enable the Conditional Image Copy feature, perform either of the following actions:

  • In a global options module that applies to the Image Copy utility job step, enter Y in the Conditional Image Copy field.
  • In the ICPSYSIN control statement data set, specify the SMARTIC(Y) keyword.
