Enabling shadow copies for LOAD REPLACE

For LOAD REPLACE, BMC AMI Load supports loading data to a shadow copy.

You can enable this functionality in one of the following ways. For each of these methods, BMC AMI Load creates and loads shadow copies of the table space and index, but does not touch the original table space and index. The original objects remain unchanged until the load process finishes and the data sets are renamed or switched.

  • Specify SHRLEVEL REFERENCE on your LOAD command.

    With this option, BMC AMI Load places the table space or partition in read-only status before the start of the load process. For partial loads, NPIs are in read/write status.
