  • 1.  asynchronous image copies,

    Posted Mar 30, 2020 07:52 AM
    Hello,
    We have problem with take asynchronous image copies.  We've run a std IC in a test environment and that works fine.

    Then we've taken the same JCL and added "ASYNCH=YES,TASKLIMIT=16" in the Global parm member DBCCOPY. Also changed FUNCTION=COPY to ACOPY and IC to  COPY1DDNAME. Then it abended with RC: 12

    IDI7601I FUNCTION RETURN CODE = 0012 (MODULE DBOCMTK, SUFFIX(0), OFFSET 17F6).
    IDI7602I CUMULATIVE RETURN CODE = 0012.

    we already opened case for this.

    So meanwhile I want ask community if someone has some working example of asynchronous image copies?

    Hello Jan,

    We are currently updating the documentation for Asynchronous Image Copies.

    With regards to ASYNCH, this statement is redundant and is not needed.

    As for adding statements to GLBL, this does not refer to the global parmlib member. This refers to the GLBL control statement. Sample JCL usage would be as follows:

    GLBL TASKLIMIT(16),DBRC(N)
    FUNCTION=ACOPY,
    DBDNAME=dbdname1,
    DDNAME=ddname1,
    COPY1DDNAME=icddname1
    FUNCTION=ACOPY,
    DBDNAME=dbdname2,
    DDNAME=ddname2,
    COPY1DDNAME=icddname2
    and so on..

    I hope this helps.

    We have also responded in the related case.

    Regards,
    Sean.
