Does RC/Merger support partition rotation

• RC/Merger for DB2 for z/OS

Issue/Introduction

When using RC/Merger for Db2 for z/OS (RMM) Copy to migrate data from one subsystem to another, there is a problem if the tablespace on
the target subsystem has been the subject of a partition rotation. RC/Merger does not take into the account that the physical partition no longer
matches the logical partition.

Does RC/Merger support a Tablespace whose partitions have been rotated?

Resolution

RC/Merger does not currently support partition rotation.

Additional Information

Reference the RC/Migrator User Guide, with regards to considerations for Migration Strategies and Table-Controlled Partitioning.
This section in the Table Chapter documents that RC/Merger does not currently support partition rotation.


Migration Strategy Considerations

Note the following migration strategy considerations for TCP processing:

If you migrate a tablespace for a TCP table that has had its partitions rotated, you must also include the table in that migration strategy.
If you do not include the table, the tablespace partitions will not be reordered properly.
