Automatic Restart feature (Image Copy utility)

The BMC Image Copy utility provides an Automatic Restart feature that tracks completed tasks during a utility job step execution.

If the job step fails and is resubmitted, the feature automatically informs the utility that these completed tasks do not need to be repeated; you do not make any changes to the JCL or control statements before the job step is resubmitted.

The Automatic Restart feature can save substantial elapsed time and processing resources by preventing reprocessing of completed work and by making JCL and control statement changes unnecessary when a utility job step fails.

RMGR supports the Automatic Restart feature through the checkpoint dynamic allocation model that you define for the utility.

If you want to use the Automatic Restart feature, specify YES for the Restart option in the profile that is used for this execution of the Create Image Copy JCL function. In the profile, you must also provide the name of the checkpoint model. The Create Image Copy JCL function uses the model name to create the CHKPT control statement in the image copy JCL. For more information, see Profile Maintenance panel — page 1.

For more information about the Automatic Restart feature and dynamic allocation models, seeIMAGE COPY PLUS documentation.
