2. On the Edit DR Image Copy Options panel, specify information for the following Image Copy options:

   Image Copies Used at DR

   Specify which Image Copy data sets to use at the DR site. Specify C if you want IMS Recovery Expert to copy local IC data sets and register the copied data sets in the DR RECON. Specify Y if you want IMS Recovery Expert to leave all IC data sets in the DR RECON. Specify 2 if you want IMS Recovery Expert to leave all IC2 data sets and invalidate all IC1 data sets in the DR RECON. Specify N if you want IMS Recovery Expert to invalidate all registered IC data sets in the DR RECON.

   Number of Image Copy copy tasks

   Specify how many tasks you want IMS Recovery Expert to assign to the Image Copy-copy process. Specify a number between 1 and 32.

   Image Copies needed at DR site

   Specify the number of days and/or hours of image copy data sets that are needed at disaster recovery.

   Unit for Copying Image Copies

   Specify the tape or DASD unit device to be used to allocate data sets to be created when copying image copy data sets.

   Edit allocation parameters

   Specify Y to edit the Image Copy-copy allocation parameter panel.

   Number of qualifiers to replace

   Specify how many qualifiers of the existing Image Copy data sets name you want to replace with the DR Image Copy prefix.

   DR Image Copy Prefix

   Specify the Image Copy data sets prefix that the copied Image Copy data sets will have at the disaster recovery site. You can include &SSID in the prefix to have IMS Recovery Expert replace it with the IMS subsystem name.

   1. If you specify Y in the Edit allocation parameters field, the Local IC copy allocation panel opens:
