When you copy an integrated catalog facility user catalog, the DELETE keyword must be specified, but an input volume and the RENAMEUNCONDITIONAL keyword must not be specified. You must specify the fully qualified name of the user catalog in the INCLUDE parameter. In any processor in the complex, there should be no other jobs executing that access the user catalog being moved; otherwise, the copy operation might fail or the copied catalog might contain errors.

You need RACF® access if the catalog is RACF-protected.

User catalog aliases are automatically redefined after the copy. The LOCK attribute of an integrated catalog facility user catalog is preserved during the copy operation. For a description of the LOCK attribute and the correct access authority, see z/OS DFSMS Managing Catalogs.
