COPYDICTIONARY


The COPYDICTIONARY option tells BMC AMI Load to copy an existing compression dictionary from the specified partition to other partitions on a partitioned table space.

BMC AMI Load copies the current compression dictionary from the specified partition and uses it to compress the input data for the partitions being replaced. This option enables you to copy a compression dictionary to an empty partition in which a compression dictionary would not normally have been built.

You can specify any valid partition number for the table space, as long as you are not replacing that partition. The default value is 1.

You can use the COPYDICTIONARY option when both of the following conditions exist:

  • You are loading a partitioned or range-partitioned table space.
  • You specify RESUME NO at the table space level and PART integer REPLACE statements.

The following considerations apply to the COPYDICTIONARY option:

  • You cannot specify COPYDICTIONARY with the following options:
    • LOAD PART integer RESUME
    • LOAD RESUME YES
  • In addition, the COPYDICTIONARY keyword is incompatible with the following options:
  • The REPLACE keyword copies only the compression dictionary to partitions being replaced that have the COMPRESS YES attribute. A valid dictionary must exist for the partition being copied.
