The HALDB copy utility allows you to copy a HALDB, using
the latest non-fuzzy image copy, to a different IMS.
About this task
The utility transfers a production HALDB to a different IMS and allocates the target data
set in that system, if the data set is not already available.
This
task is typically performed when a problem is discovered in the production
database, where the database cannot be kept offline until the error
in the application has been identified and resolved.
This utility
performs the following operations:
Copies the most recent HALDB definitions across to a different
RECON by changing the hlq portion of the data
set name.
Creates the necessary allocation statements.
Registers all non-fuzzy image copies to the new RECON.
After these operations have been performed, you can run a
recovery using the new RECON.
Alternatively, you can create
the JCL by using the ISPF user interface.
