To create a full image copy as input for a bulk data movement session, define the JCL and control cards. Then submit the DB2 COPY utility job manually or from a job scheduler.

The JCL for creating a full image copy executes the DB2 DSNUTILB program. When the DB2 DSNUTILB program reads the control cards, it invokes the COPY utility to create the full image copy.

Include the following parameters in each COPY TABLESPACE statement:

If you plan to use PowerExchange CDC to write changes to the target after materialization, include a QUIESCE TABLESPACE statement before the COPY TABLESPACE statements. The QUIESCE TABLESPACE statement causes PowerExchange to set event markers in the PowerExchange Logger log files. You need the event markers to create restart tokens for CDC. A restart token determines the start point in the change stream for a PowerExchange extraction.
