You can only issue Compatible FlashCopy® V2 commands from the host.
Compatible FlashCopy® V2 supports the following host interfaces and commands to establish and control Compatible FlashCopy® V2 operations.
- PPRC TSO commands:
- FCESTABL
- FCWITHDR
- FCQUERY
To use the PPRC TSO commands when the host system is protected by RACF, you must add the PPRC TSO command names to the AUTHCMD PARM of IKJTSOxx in SYS1.PARMLIB.
- DFSMSdss commands:
- COPY FULL
- COPY DS
Compatible FlashCopy® V2 supports VSAM datasets. However, if you specify attributes for the copy source extents that differ from those specified for the target extents, DFSMSdss invokes a different program, such as IDCAMS, which might cause Compatible FlashCopy® V2 to operate differently for VSAM datasets.
