Space announcement We are no longer updating this space, and you cannot comment on this space. The CHANGE ACCUMULATION PLUS component is now documented in BMC AMI Backup and Recovery for IMS.

Encrypted image copies (Output image copy data set)

The Image Copy utility, the Change Accumulation utility, and the Recovery utility of the 

BMC AMI Backup and Recovery for IMS

 product can write and read image copy data sets in encrypted format.

BMC AMI Backup and Recovery for IMS utilities use an application program interface (API) to call standard z/OS data encryption services to encrypt and decrypt image copy data sets. The API supports 64-bit and 128-bit encryption keys. The file that contains encryption keys is allocated dynamically through IMSDALIB, MDALIB, DFSRESLB, or STEPLIB.

To request encryption of an output secondary image copy (copies 2 through 10), you set the ENCRYPT option in a dynamic allocation model. The primary copy cannot be encrypted. BMC products (at supported levels) automatically recognize that an input image copy is encrypted and handle it appropriately.

For more information, seeIMAGE COPY PLUS documentation.
