Copy
Use the Copy utility function to copy data from any supported resource to any other supported resource.
This page details the mapping of fields to batch parameters and miscellaneous notes. For the full description of each parameter, refer to the IBM File ManagerĀ® Users Guide and Reference.
Basic Settings

Parameter mappings:
- Source System: The system the resource is copied from. This cannot be changed and will be the system the wizard was opened from in the Systems Information View.
- Source Resource: DSNIN. A single member can be specified here optionally containing wild cards.
- Source Volume: VOLSERIN. Optional; volume serial number for a non-cataloged data set.
- Destination System: The system the resource will be copied to. All hosts from the Systems Information View are listed and the selection will be validated upon pressing the Finish button. If the destination is different from the source system, a remote copy operation will be performed between the systems. Both systems must support Remote Services and have the same SSL configuration in order to be valid.
- Destination Resource: DSNOUT. If this is a data set, it will be automatically Allocated Like from the source resource if the source resource is a catalogued data set of a type supported by the Allocate utility function. If the user wishes to copy to a PDS, specify the member here as well (e.g. USER.PDS(MEM1) ). If Source Resource is a Message Queue and Destination Resource is a non-existent data set, a data set with record format set to variable (V) and record length set to 32756 will be allocated. The other attributes are left to SMS to define. If this is a CICS TS resource, it will be automatically created. If it is any other type of resource, it will not be automatically created.
- Destination Volume: VOLSEROUT. Optional; The volume serial number for a new or non-cataloged destination data set.
- Use Advanced Allocation Options: When the destination resource does not exist, this option allows for specification of custom allocation attributes.

This page will be skipped if the Source Resource cannot have any members.

Parameter mappings:
- Member list:
- CPYMBR: if Member renaming By list is used or if multiple members are specified.
- MEMBER: if a single generic mask was used
- Name: from & to: If both "from" and "to" are specified, MEMSTART and MEMEND will be used respectively. If "from" is specified and "to" is left empty, the "from" value will be used as the value to the MEMBER parameter. Specify * in the "from" or "to" field to select all previous or all next entries (respectively).
- Exclude Members: If exclude members is used, then excluded member defined by pattern or mentioned specifically will get removed from member list
- Created: from & to: CRESTART and/or CREEND
- Changed: from & to: CHGSTART and/or CHGEND
- User ID: from & to: If both from and to are specified, UIDSTART and UIDEND will be used respectively. If from is specified and to is left empty, the from value will be used as the value for the USERID parameter. Specify * in the from or to field to select all previous or all next entries (respectively).
- By list:: CPYMBR
- By mask:: MEMOUT
