SNAPSHOT UPGRADE FEATURE support for BMC utilities and solutions

The SNAPSHOT UPGRADE FEATURE (SUF) is a subset of XBM. This feature allows supported BMC utilities to use XBM snapshot technology when processing snapshots.

SUF is included as a component in multiple BMC solutions:

  • BMC AMI Backup and Recovery for IMS
  • Database Administration for DB2
  • Database Performance for DB2
  • BMC Recovery Management for DB2

You can also license SUF separately from the solutions and use it with the supported BMC utilities to perform snapshot processing. SUF as a stand-alone component is available for Db2, IMS, and VSAM.
