The DFSMSdss copy command is used to process FlashCopy® SE volume copy operations. When executing these operations, the FCSETGTOK and FCNOCOPY parameters must be specified.

DFSMSdss processes the COPY FULL command in a few seconds and establishes the FlashCopy® SE relationship simultaneously as it completes the processing. The job completion is not reported.

In the following example, a full volume relationship is created between S-VOL FCPY05 and T-VOL FCPY06.

//COPY FULL JOB
//*
//INSTIMG EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=V,OUTLIM=3000
//VOL1   DD UNIT=3390,VOL=SER=FCPY05,DISP=OLD
//VOL2   DD UNIT=3390,VOL=SER=FCPY06,DISP=OLD
//SYSIN DD *
 COPY FULL INDYNAM (FCPY05) OUTDYNAM (FCPY06) COPYVOLID
