Create Backup RAMDB

As a safety precaution, create a backup of your RAMDB (herein referred to RAMDBd) before applying maintenance.

Follow these steps:

1. Allocate RAMDBd in the same way that RAMDB was allocated.

   The cluster definition is in dsnpref.NMC1.rname.JCL(S01LCALC).

2. Stop the product region.
3. Copy the data from RAMDB to RAMDBd using IDCAMS REPRO command.

   Note: For information, see the example in dsnpref.NMC1.rname.JCL(S04LDVSM).

4. Restart the product region.
