Synchronization Options
mapping entries follow file mapping entries, and are preceded by the keyword
“CATALOGS:”, including the colon (:), as follows:
CATALOGS entries are checked for proper syntax, and passed along to the RESTORE
process.
To find out the file name and catalog mapping being supplied to RESTORE, specify
KEEPBACKUPINFILE and examine the ZRSnnnnn file in the destination MapDB
subvolume.
Synchronization Options
Numerous options provide flexibility for synchronization. Most of these apply to both
one-time and scheduled synchronizations.
Making Exact Copies
By default, AutoSYNC does not synchronize a file if the destination file was modified
more recently than the source file. This behavior allows you to customize the
destination file for local use.
When AutoSYNC synchronizes a file, the two files are exactly the same, including the
modification time stamp. If you specify the TIMEEXACT option, all files that are not
exactly the same will be synchronized, overwriting any destination files you have
modified.
Excluding ZZ Files
Files that begin with the characters ZZ are usually temporary files that were
abandoned, or saveabend files created by Inspect. If you want to synchronize such
files, specify the ZZINCLUDE option.
System swap files are also considered temporary and they are not synchronized.
Excluding Specific Files
You may create an edit file containing a list of volume, subvolume, and file names or
patterns to be excluded from the source file set. Exclusion does not apply to the
destination file set. To preserve efficiency when exclude lists are large, patterns are
limited to trailing asterisks only.
Excluding a volume or subvolume will eliminate all processing for that entity, including
purging of extra destination files. Excluding a file does not prevent a destination file
