Copying logical partitions

If you specify DSNUM integer LOGICAL or DSNUM begin:end LOGICAL, BMC AMI Copy uses the logical partition numbers early in copy initialization to determine the corresponding physical partition numbers.

As is the case for copies specified with a physical partition number, the physical partition number and the logical partition number registered in the SYSCOPY or BMCXCOPY must be the values that existed at the time corresponding to the registration START_RBA.

The relationship between logical and physical partitions numbers might change due to an ALTER...PARTITION ROTATE between the time the copy is initialized and the time corresponding to the registration START_RBA. If this occurs, 

BMC AMI Copy

 issues the following message and fails with a condition code 8:
