Concurrency with other BMC utilities
Both the BMCUTIL and BMCSYNC tables are used by BMC utilities to coordinate access to spaces. Online Consistent Copy assumes other BMC utilities are all sharing the same BMCSYNC table. When the BMCSYNC table is shared, Online Consistent Copy can coordinate access to spaces with other BMC utilities by jointly controlling space status.
When you use Online Consistent Copy to create a copy, you should specify SHRLEVEL CHANGE. The Online Consistent Copy job can run concurrently with other BMC utilities that do not require exclusive access.
