Restrictions and Limitations

Due to the interconnections of database records and integrity of database operations, certain restrictions or limitations are imposed on the copy process.

Bundle records

If the bundle record previously exists on the receiving database, the bundle record is replaced.

Bundle distribution identifiers that do not exist in the receiving database are added to the receiving database.

Bundle report identifiers that do not exist in the receiving database are not copied (for example, the report identifiers are removed from the bundle record).

Distribution records

If the distribution record previously exists in the receiving database, the distribution record is replaced.

Job records

If the job record previously exists on the receiving database, the job record is replaced.

All reports defined to the job are copied (for example, added or replaced).

Report identifiers that are no longer defined to the job on the receiving database, if applicable, are deleted from the receiving database.

Report identifiers that are defined to another job on the receiving database, if the job previously exists, are not copied (for example, the report identifiers are removed from the copied job).

Distribution identifiers that are defined to reports within the job that do not exist in the receiving database are added to the receiving database.

Bundle references defined to reports within the job are not copied.

The bundle references that reside on the receiving database (if applicable) are maintained. The RMOUJR21 message identifies the bundle identifiers that existed on the sending database.

Report records

Report identifiers must be previously defined on the receiving database; this can be accomplished by copying the job definition first.

Bundle references defined to reports within the job are not copied.

The bundle references that reside on the receiving database (if applicable) are maintained. The RMOURR17 message identifies the bundle identifiers that existed on the sending database.

The report UNDEF is copied into the receiving database only if it is explicitly specified.
