Important
We are integrating BMC AMI LOBMaster technology into the BMC AMI Reorg product and discontinuing BMC AMI LOBMaster as a separate product. For the latest integrated documentation, see BMC AMI Reorg for Db2 13.1.
Producing image copies
For efficiency, BMC AMI Reorg might initiate an extra copy server. This server job functions solely to produce image copies from objects that have been already reorganized and completed.
In the following example, only a Local Primary (LP) copy is requested. Since this is the default copy destination the Reorg statement does not have to specify it. The DDNCOUNT keyword mounts two tape drives for the LP copy to write copies in parallel.
In this example:
Only a local primary (LP) copy is requested.
The REORG statement does not need to specify the copy destination because it is the default.
The DDNCOUNT keyword mounts two tape drives for the LP copy to write copies in parallel.
a Remote Primary (RP) copy is requested so a RECOVERYDDN keyword is added to the Reorg statement. A COPYDDN keyword was still not required because the LP copy is required and will be produced. Having the NGTTAPE LP statement directs it to tape rather than the default of DASD
NGTTAPE is used for all Db2 copy destinations. The REORG statement requests the copy destinations and the NGTTAPE statement specifies its destination which defaults to DASD if not specified
