Running DATABASE COPIER Version 19.0
We defined in our RECON an IMS Catalog HALDB with Alias concept. Further we had to add the alias name (DFSS in our case) to the IMS catalog database name list in our IMS DBD library with the IMS Catalog Alias Names utility (DFS3ALI0). The result was the following: BROWSE DBS.SERVICE.DBDLIB
COPIER Version 19.0
It is quite correct to say that we don’t support aliases. Our documentation says: DB copier DBDNAME= keyword description: Limits: 1 -8 alphanumeric characters; DBDNAME must exist as a member of IMS or DBDLIB. There may be the following circumvention by using:
//IMSULU DD DUMMY
We just checked that now but we cannot say that this option was tested comprehensively.
