Creating a FlashCopy image copy with REORG INDEX
As part of REORG INDEX processing, you can use FlashCopy® technology to quickly take image copies of the target objects.
About this task
Procedure
To create a FlashCopy image copy with REORG INDEX:
Optionally, you can also specify FCCOPYDDN in the REORG INDEX statement. Use this option to specify a template for the FlashCopy image copy. If you do not specify the FCCOPYDDN option in the REORG INDEX statement, the utility uses the value from the FCCOPYDDN subsystem parameter.
When you specify FLASHCOPY(YES) or FLASHCOPY(CONSISTENT), REORG INDEX uses FlashCopy technology to create a consistent copy of the target objects.
The FlashCopy image copy fails if the FlashCopy Version 2 disk volumes are not available or if any of the other FlashCopy operational restrictions exist. For a list of those operational restrictions, see FlashCopy image copies.
