Important

When the PACLOG and BMC AMI Recovery Manager for Db2 products coexist in an IBM Db2 subsystem, we recommend that they use the same options file. You can designate that the two products share a common options file in this migration procedure.

For more information about integrating PACLOG with BMC AMI Recovery Manager, see Installing.
