Logical relation search

The Image Copy function searches for all the databases that are logically related with the specified database, all the index databases that are defined for the specified database, and all the index databases that are defined for the identified logically related databases. Then the function creates image copies of all the databases, and registers all the index databases to the DBRC RECON data sets as nonstandard image copies (UIC records).

The advantage of using this option is that you do not need to specify all databases in the ICEIN control statement or create a GROUP entry for the group of logical relationships.

The logical relation search option does not support index data sets of PHIDAM database and indirect list data set (ILDS) of HALDB.

To enable the logical relation search option, you must have IMS HP Pointer Checker installed.

You can enable this option by specifying the DBALL keyword. This keyword has an option to exclude index databases from the scope of the search.
