SYSCOPY

Use this option to instruct BMC AMI Unload to unload from an image copy data set, obtaining the data set name from SYSIBM.SYSCOPY.

If you specify a single partition number, BMC AMI Unload searches only for the indicated partition. Otherwise, BMC AMI Unload performs the search with DSNUM=0.

You can specify one of the following suboptions:

FULL

(default) Obtains the full image copy data set that has the highest START_RBA

INCR

Obtains the incremental image copy data set that has the highest START_RBA

LAST

Obtains the image copy data set that has the highest START_RBA

This data set can be incremental or full.

The following considerations apply to the SYSCOPY option:

  • When unloading from an image copy, you cannot specify multiple partitions with the PARTS option.
  • If you specify the SYSCOPY option, you cannot specify COPYDDN or COPYDSN.
  • Do not use MODE(DB2SQL) or MODE(AUTO) with this option.
  • Does not support Cabinet copies.

Partitioned table spaces

For a partitioned table space:

  • BMC AMI Unload uses the latest full copy to complete unload procesing.
  • If the latest copy is a DSNUM 0 copy, BMC AMI Unload uses a copy of the entire partitioned table space.

  • If no full copy exists, BMC AMI Unload dynamically allocates and uses the partition-level copies provided that:

    • Every partition has a copy.
    • Each copy has the same START_RBA value.

    If these conditions are not met, the unload job fails

Important

BMC AMI Unload does not support part-level cabinet copies.
