Usage note
The Checkpoint Restart function works only for the primary and secondary image copy data sets. When an error is found while creating image copy data sets, the Image Copy function and the Checkpoint Restart function work as follows:
  • If an error is found while creating the primary or the secondary image copy data set, the image copy processing for the database data set or area data set stops, and the data set is processed again in the restart processing.
  • If an error is found while creating the third or the fourth image copy data set, the image copy processing for the database data set or area data set continues except for the image copy data set that is in error. If the processing for other image copy data sets completes, that database data set or area data set will not be a target of restart processing.
