User-controlled options—Image Copy function

The Image Copy function allows you to set user-controlled options with different methods to suit your needs.

The Image Copy function offers several levels for setting options (see the following table). Each level overrides the options set in the previous level.

Note

If you already have IMAGE COPY PLUS, the Image Copy function can use any existing IMAGE COPY PLUS global options modules and database-specific options members. You do not need to recreate them.
