Registering empty incremental copies

The EMPTY NO option of BMC AMI Copy guarantees that an incremental image copy is made and registered in SYSIBM.SYSCOPY even if no changed pages are found.

Warning

Important

When you specify the EMPTY NO option, if BMC AMI Copy is unable to acquire a registration point for an incremental image copy, BMC AMI Copy bypasses the copy rather than create an image copy.

With standard incremental image copy processing, only pages that have changed since the last image copy was made (as indicated by the modification indicators in the space maps) are included in the image copy data set; that is, if no pages changed, no pages are written to the image copy data set, and the copy is not registered in SYSIBM.SYSCOPY.
