Using concurrent copy in a utility procedure

In the Add Utility Procedure Element window select Concurrent Copy to specify the concurrent copy utility should be run on the object list when the utility procedure is run.

An object list is a collection of predefined objects such as indexes or table spaces that can be referred to in order to run a utility on all of the objects in the object list using only a single command.

To specify Concurrent Copy to be run on an object list through a utility procedure:

1. Specify a share level by selecting a radio button:
   
   

   Reference

   Allows read-only access by other programs. When REFERENCE is specified, an ICTYPE=Q record is placed into the SYSCOPY table after the object has been quiesced. If COPY fails, then this record remains in SYSCOPY. When COPY is successful, then this ICTYPE=Q record is replaced with the ICTYPE=F record.
   
   

   For table spaces with a 32 KB page size, you must run the job with the REFERENCE option when using the CONCURRENT option. Otherwise, the job is terminated, and message DSNU423I is issued.

2. Specify the data set templates to use.
