VIC
The VIC keyword is optional on the GLBL, GROUP, IC, and AIC commands.
This keyword is available in ICPSYSIN; it is also available in global and database-specific options modules. The following table describes the Virtual image copy keyword.
To do this | Specify this in ICPSYSSIN |
|---|---|
Create a virtual image copy of the primary and secondary indexes for the reorganized database. | VIC(Y) |
Do not create a virtual image copy of the primary and secondary indexes for the reorganized database. | VIC(N) |
Internal default: VIC(N) | |
A virtual image copy is not a real image copy; it is a dummy data set name recorded in DBRC as the image copy name of an index database. The dummy data set name must be cataloged.
You can create an image copy of only the first shared secondary index. Use the DBD keyword on the IC control statement. The Image Copy function does not support virtual image copies for shared secondary indexes.
The following restrictions apply when you specify VIC(Y):
- SECONDARY INDEX UTILITY must be installed.
- DBRC must be active (DBRC(Y)).
- The image copies defined to DBRC must be assigned the NOREUS parameter.
When you specify VIC(Y), you must also specify SIUDSN(dataSetName) in the global options module or on a control statement. For more information about this keyword, see SIUDSN.
