Status Not under consideration
Workspace Db2 for z/OS
Created by Guest
Created on Jun 8, 2018

MERGECOPY only a subset of incremental ICs

System: Db2 for z/OS - UTILITY - MERGECOPY
Actor: DBA

MERGECOPY is used to merge Full IC with Incrementals to build new Full which is far more faster to recover than full + set of incrementals.

Merging a subset of incrementals (from the date of full to a specific date) is can be beneficial whenever there is processing based on UNLOAD from FULL COPY.

    Thank you for submitting your enhancement request. The Db2 for z/OS team has reviewed it and determined it is not in scope with other prioritized items planned for the upcoming 24 months. Therefore, unfortunately, we are declining the idea at this time.

    Sincerely,

    Db2 for z/OS Development
