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 Unloaduses 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
