Working with physical and logical partitions

When a copy of a table space or index space is registered, the logical and physical numbers recorded in either SYSCOPY or BMCXCOPY must be the values existing at the time corresponding to the registration START_RBA. A DSNUM ALL copy is always registered with zero physical and logical partition values.

BMC AMI Copy provides the DSNUM....LOGICAL option to specify a partition or partitions of a table or index space in a COPY command with a logical partition number or a range of logical partition numbers. In the case of an index space, the BMC AMI Copy logical partition number applies only to a partitioned index space and is equal to the logical partition number of the corresponding parent table space partition.
