Copy DB2 for z/OS databases instantaneously

Take copies with little or no outage, and reduce the resources required for copy jobs

This product:

• Collects RUNSTATS during the copy, so you don’t need to run a separate job
• Creates encrypted image copies
• Writes compressed copies to save on storage for image copy tapes
• Writes copies to DASD and tape simultaneously

With BMC COPY PLUS for DB2, you will:

• Improve data availability
• Offload copy work to zIIP engines, where available
• Ensure that all copies are in sync with DB2
