Using concurrent copy on an object list

The Concurrent Copy utility may be run on an object list directly, without the use of a Utility Procedure.

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:

  1. Open the Concurrent Copy Object List window.

  2. 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.


    Change
    Allows other programs to change the index. When you specify Change uncommitted data might be copied

  3. Specify the data set templates to use.

  4. Click the Run Now push button to run the utility.

  5. Click the Save push button to open the Save to Utility Procedure window.
