Using copy on an object list

The 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 copy on an object list:

1. Open the Copy Object List window.
   
   
2. Select the Reference or Change radio button to indicate whether other programs can access or update the table space while COPY is running. A Reference share level allows read-only access by other programs. A Change share level allows other programs to change the table space.
   
   
3. If you do not want to process the objects in parallel, select the radio button.
   
   
4. If you want to process the objects in parallel and you want DB2 to determine the maximum number of objects to process, select the DB2 determines the number of objects to be processed in parallel radio button.
   
   
5. If you want to process the the objects in parallel, you select the radio button and then define a maximum limit of objects to be processed in parallel at one time.
   
   
6. Specify the data set templates to use.
   
   
7. Click the Run Now push button to run the utility.
   
   
8. Click the Save push button to open the Save to Utility Procedure window.
