6 Importing copy groups
This chapter explains how to generate copy group definitions by using CSV files, import definitions
to monitor PPRC copy pairs, and import SMS storage group definitions.
Generating a copy group definition file by using CSV files
By executing the YKIMPORT command, you can generate a copy group definition file from
comma-separated value (CSV) files in which copy pair information is described. In addition, by
executing the YKEXPORT command, you can generate CSV files in which copy pair information
is described from a copy group definition file.
Generating a copy group definition file (CSV file for copy group definition)
By executing the YKIMPORT command, you can generate one copy group container (one copy
group definition file) from one CSV file. A copy group definition file can be generated for all copy
types.
When generating a copy group definition file from CSV files, select either of the following:
•
Inherit only the attributes of the base copy group definition file and newly generate a copy
group definition file.
•
Overwrite the base copy group definition file with the contents of the CSV file.
This section describes how to generate a copy group definition file.
Required files (CSV file for copy group definition)
