BACKUPCC Command

The BACKUPCC command instructs CA Disk to create a Concurrent Copy backup of an online data set. Using the MODE parameter on the DSCL SET command can simulate it. For details, see the description of the parameter MODE= in the section SET Command in the chapter "Basic System – DMS PROC." However, while in simulate mode, CA Disk will not interface with the DFSMSdss data mover to determine if the backup will be concurrent, whether the hardware is in place or not.

Important! Since this command is executed while the online application is quiesced, time is of the essence. It is for this reason that BACKUPCC must be the only action command in the DSCL command stream. Otherwise the outage to the online application will be longer than necessary.
