PM05976: ADD NEW UTILITY TYPE TO CREATE IMAGE COPIES FROM RECOVERY EXPERT SYSTEM LEVEL BACKUP

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• This APAR adds a new utility type to utility profiles that
  supports creating image copies from DB2 Recovery Expert system
  level backups. The Recovery Expert image copy utility allows the
  user to select a CURRENT or specific Recovery Expert system
  level backup, and allows the user to set Recovery Expert image
  copy options.  Many of the DB2 Automation Tool features, such as
  user skeletons, object wildcarding, exception processing, and
  image copy thresholds will be exploited.
  Template and LISTDEFs are not supported for this feature, and
  will not be generated regardless of the job options settings in
  the job
  profile.
  There are three ways for the user to extract an image copy from
  an SLB.
  * Select a specific Recovery Expert system level backup in the
  utility profile.
  * Locate the current system level backup at DB2 Automation Tool
  build time for each object.
  * Let the Recovery Expert image copy utility locate the system
  level backup at utility execution time.
