Copying special case catalog and directory table spaces
Only full image copies of the catalog and directory table spaces DSNDB06.SYSCOPY, DSNDB01.SYSUTILX, DSNDB01.DBD01, and DSDNB01.SYSDBDXA are allowed.
If the ESCALATE installation option is set to YES (the default value), BMC AMI Copy escalates any incremental copy requests for these spaces to full copy requests. If ESCALATE is set to NO, BMC AMI Copy terminates the job. See Escalating-incremental-copies-to-full-copies.
You can dynamically allocate the output copy data sets for these table spaces, and you can stack copies to tape. When you dynamically allocate the output copy data sets, the number of BSAM buffers used is determined by the BUFNO option, which you can include in an OUTPUT statement. If you do not specify BUFNO in an OUTPUT statement, BMC AMI Copy uses the installation option value.
To make image copies of these table spaces, BMC AMI Copy invokes the IBM Db2 COPY utility. Consequently, some BMC AMI Copy installation options and syntax options are ignored or have limited application. In addition, the COPYDDN and RECOVERYDDN options must conform to the rules that apply to the version of the IBM Db2 COPY utility used.
The following table shows details of the availability of BMC AMI Copy installation options for image copies.
