FABJ0235E CONCURRENT IMAGE COPY CANNOT BE USED FOR VSAM KSDS. DBD=dbdname DDN=dbds_ddn

Explanation

The concurrent image copy process of IMS HP Image Copy did not create output image copy data sets for the KSDS database and index. CIC_KSDS=N was specified, but Advanced Image Copy Services was not requested for the Image Copy function.

System action

The image copy process for the KSDS is bypassed, and the return code of the image copy process is set to 8.

User response

If you want to create image copies of VSAM KSDS database data sets for recovery purposes, use the FASTIC=(,DUMP) processing of Advanced Image Copy Services. The KSDS data set must be SMS-managed, and the BWO(TYPEIMS) parameter must be specified on the AMS DEFINE or the ALTER statement. If the data set is not SMS-managed or if the parameter was not specified on the statements, the concurrent image copy process fails.
