2. Upload the generated CSV file to the host on which Business Continuity Manager is running.
3. Prepare a disk configuration definition file.
If you do not have a disk configuration definition file, create one by scanning the volumes to
be used.
4. Prepare a copy group definition file in which the attributes you want to be inherited are
defined.
For details on the attributes you need to define, see “Attributes to be defined in a base copy
group definition file” (page 292) .
5. Execute the YKIMPORT command.
A copy group definition file is generated. You can select either new creation or overwrite.
Example of JCL (for CSV copy group definition)
The following code shows an example of JCL for executing the YKIMPORT command as a batch
job:
NOTE: The CSV file must be allocated with the DD name INCTG in Business Continuity Manager
version 7.4 or later when Continuous Access Journal Z is used.
//BCMIMPOT JOB
//YKIMPORT EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,REGION=4096K
//SYSEXEC DD DSN=BCM.VXXXXXX.HPQYEXET,DISP=SHR
//STEPLIB DD DSN=BCM.VXXXXXX.HPQYLNKT,DISP=SHR
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=S
//SYSABEND DD SYSOUT=*
//INPAIR DD DSN=BCM.PAIRCSV,DISP=OLD
//INEXCTG DD DSN=BCM.EXCTGCSV,DISP=OLD
//INCTG DD DSN=BCM.CTGCSV,DISP=OLD
//SYSTSIN DD *
YKIMPORT PREFIX(BCM) BASEGROUP(BASE.CAJ) NEWGROUP(CG.CAJ)
/*
The amount of memory required to execute the command depends on the number of volumes used
by the copy group. For details about how to set an appropriate value, see the HP XP7 for Business
Continuity Manager Installation Guide.
