DSNU454I csect-name COPY MERGE COMPLETE. NUMBER OF COPIES = iiiii, NUMBER OF COPIES MERGED = cccccc, TOTAL NUMBER OF PAGES MERGED = ttttt, ELAPSED TIME = hh/mm/ss

Explanation

This message marks the normal completion of the MERGECOPY utility. The variables are:
iiiii
The number of copies found.
cccccc
The number of image copies that were merged. The number merged can be less than the number found if a work data set was not specified using the MERGECOPY WORKDDN option.
ttttt
The total number of pages that were merged.

The merged incremental copies were consolidated either into a single new incremental image copy or into a new full image copy, depending upon the MERGECOPY NEWCOPY option. The Db2 catalog table SYSIBM.SYSCOPY was updated to reflect the results.

This message may indicate that prior data set entries were deleted and, consequently, that backup data set resources were freed.

System action

Processing continues to the next utility statement in the utility job step, if any. If there are no more utility statements, the utility job step is normally terminated, and the resources are released to their prior availability state. The UTILID of the utility job step becomes available for reuse.

User response

You can review the reported statistics to assess the effectiveness of performing incremental image copies. You can examine the SYSIBM.SYSCOPY catalog table to review the incremental and full image copies that are subject to Db2 recovery.

The full or incremental image copy data set identified by the DD statement specified in the COPYDDN option was recorded in SYSIBM.SYSCOPY. Db2 assumes that the image copy data set is now available for subsequent recovery. Ensure that the data set is available for recovery.
