Issue/Introduction

When generating an Image Copy utility in the Analysis how do I copy all partitions in a single copy? RC/Migrator is currently generating image copies by partition.

COPY TABLESPACE dbname.tsname DSNUM 1

  COPYDDN SYSCP001                    

COPY TABLESPACE dbname.tsname DSNUM 2

  COPYDDN SYSCP002                    

COPY TABLESPACE dbname.tsname DSNUM 3

  COPYDDN SYSCP003                    

Environment

Release:
Component: RCM

Resolution

If partition independence is not required and you wish to copy all partitions of a Tablespace in a single image copy, then Image Copy analysis option 'Y' is required.

IMAGE COPY (Y,P,N) ==> Y

With this option and the generated PARMFILE parameter, IMAGCOPY, the image copy utility will be generated as a standalone utility, copying all partitions with DSNUM ALL in a single image copy.

COPY TABLESPACE dbname.tsname DSNUM ALL
COPYDDN SYSCPDDN

                       

 

Additional Information

With regards to whether to specify 'P' or 'Y' for the Image Copy analysis option, these values are described as follows:

Y (run the COPY utilty and generate image copy control cards for all partitions of all tablespaces or indexspaces involved in an alteration).

P (run the COPY utility with partition independence. This option generates image copy control cards only for altered partitions of tablespaces or indexespaces involved in an alteration). 
If P is specified, all partitions are copied for partition by growth universal tablespaces.

N (do not run the COPY utility). N is the default. 

 

The following chart is available in the online help for the RC/M Migrate Strategy Analysis Options panel (PF1)
