Using GTDCLIP after point-in-time copies
The GTDCLIP program allows the user to easily change the serial numbers of TDMF
Point-In-Time Copy target volumes to match their original source volumes. The program produces
REFORMAT
control statements for a later ICKDSF program run. This facility can speed up
data center relocation, for example, by automating the volume relabeling process, which is
necessary before IPLing with the target configuration.
Before you begin
Important: The user should be aware, however, that after the run of the ICKDSF program
with the input statements generated by GTDCLIP, there would be duplicate
volume serial numbers in the configuration. The facility is intended for use in an environment where
access to the source volumes is not possible from the IPLing processors.
