Requirements for executing the SP utility in batch

Before you execute program CPCSPUTI, ensure that you have a current backup of the repositories to be processed.

The SP utility automatic deletes repositories as needed.

For most commands (except as documented in CPCSYSIN-commands-for-the-SP-utility), the repositories to be processed must be offline (the function that is associated with the specified data group must be stopped) or the CPC subsystem must be inactive (stopped).

Warning

Note

The catalog data group cannot be taken offline. To reload this repository with the SP utility, the CPC must be stopped.

You can use the following commands:

  • To take a data group offline, issue the following command:

    /bcssid CPC ADV STOP FUNCTION function

    After the utility execution has completed successfully, issue the following command:

    /bcssid CPC ADV START FUNCTION function

  • To stop the CPC, issue the following command:

    /bcssid SHUTDOWN

    After the utility execution has completed successfully, issue the following command:

    /S bcssid
