IMS V8 Image Copy 2 Enhancements
- The Image Copy 2 enhancements allow multiple database data sets to be copied in one utility execution. The utility passes the data sets to DFSMSdss on multiple DUMP commands to be processed in parallel. Optionally the user can specify that the data sets are to be processed by a single DFSMSdss DUMP command which results in the image copies being written to the same output data set. Logical completion in most cases would be achieved for all of the database data sets in a very brief period of time. Also, the utility supports specification of a group name for the database data sets being copied. Logical completion is then indicated for the group rather than for the individual database data sets. With the added capabilities, users are able to better manage and automate image copy processing.
