Online database image copy (DFSUICP0)

Online Database Image Copy (DFSUICP0) runs as a BMP program in the online IMS and DBCTL environments.

You can use it for HISAM, HIDAM, HDAM, PHDAM, PHIDAM, and PSINDEX databases only; it does not support areas. A database being copied by this utility is available for updating by the IMS subsystem in which the utility is executing. Other IMS subsystems cannot have concurrent update access to the database.

If the database being copied is updated while the utility is running, a fuzzy image copy is produced. Recovery with this image copy requires all logs starting with the log that was in use when the Online Database Image Copy utility was started.
