If you choose not to use a copy utility (by selecting No copy), the product inserts the NOCOPY keyword into the ALUIN input stream and leaves table spaces that were loaded in a copy-pending state. If you select No copy start force, the product inserts the NOCOPYFORCE keyword into the ALUIN input stream and forces access to table spaces that are left in a copy-pending state and resets them. When the work ID is analyzed, Analysis inserts the -CMD START DATABASE (databaseName) SPACENAM (databaseName.tableSpaceName) ACCESS(FORCE) command into the worklist.

Note

To run a Change Manager worklist in parallel, you must use the BMC AMI Copy utility to create image copies or you must select not to use a copy utility (the No copy or No copy start force option). For more information about the worklist parallelism feature of the Database Administration solution, see Using-worklist-parallelism.

BMC AMI Copy utility

When you select BMC AMI Copy, the product uses the BMC AMI Copy utility and inserts the BMCCOPY keyword into the ALUIN input stream.

When the work ID is analyzed, Analysis inserts the -BMCC command into the worklist.

The -BMCC command can be processed in parallel. For more information about the worklist parallelism feature of the Database Administration solution, see Using-worklist-parallelism.

IBM COPY utility

When you select IBM COPY, the product uses the IBM COPY utility and inserts the IBMCOPY keyword into the ALUIN input stream.

When the work ID is analyzed, Analysis inserts the -COPY command into the worklist.
