GENSYSPAGES

If you are creating a copy for migration and the copy does not contain a system page for the latest version, REPAIR VERSIONS on the target might not work correctly. 

BMC AMI Copy

 can automatically materialize any needed system pages before making the copy. You can also set the value of GENSYSPAGES in the installation options

Values of GENSYSPAGES

Value

Description

GENSYSPAGES NO

(Default) If you specify GENSYSPAGES NO, BMC AMI Copy does not check for system pages.

GENSYSPAGES AUTO

If you specify GENSYSPAGES AUTO, BMC AMI Copy checks to see if a system page exists for the latest ALTER. If not, BMC AMI Copy performs tasks to generate the system pages.

BMC AMI Copy uses the BMCXCOPY table to track the current version of the system pages. When BMC AMI Copy checks for system pages or generates system pages, BMC AMI Copy inserts a row into BMCXCOPY with ICTYPE s even if the copy is registered in SYSCOPY.

You can use GENSYSPAGES with SHRLEVEL CHANGE, SHRLEVEL REFERENCE, or SHRLEVEL CONCURRENT copies.

Warning

Important

For SHRLEVEL CHANGE copies that you plan to use for migration, you will need to create a consistent copy (by using RECOVER OUTCOPY ONLY for example).
