DUMPCLASS: Specifying unique dump classes for fast replication dump processing

Explanation: DUMPCLASS is an optional parameter that allows you to specify up to five unique dump classes per copy pool. Fast Replication dump processing produces one dump copy of each volume for each dump class. You can mark a dump class as required or optional in the dump class definition. If all required dump classes successfully complete, DFSMShsm marks the dump version as complete.

On the FRBACKUP DUMP command, for dclass1, ... dclass5, up to five dump class names, each separated by a comma. If a dump class name is listed multiple times, DFSMShsm fails the command.

Note: If DUMPCLASS is specified on the FRBACKUP command that initiated a dump for that version, that dump class is marked as required, by default, and all other dump classes associated with the copy pool are ignored.

Defaults: None.
