Copy Types and Targets for Which Commands Can Be Executed
This section explains the copy types and targets for which commands can be executed.
Each command has certain copy types and targets that it can execute. The copy types and targets
for which commands can be executed are indicated below.
• Business Copy for Mainframe (BC Z): When the copy type parameter is BC, the command is
executable.
• Continuous Access for Mainframe (Cnt Ac-S Z): When the copy type parameter is CA (without
the HyperSwap attribute), the command is executable.
• Continuous Access for Mainframe (Cnt Ac-S Z) with the HyperSwap attribute: When the copy
type parameter is CA with the HyperSwap attribute, the command is executable.
• Continuous Access Asynchronous for Mainframe (Cnt Ac-A Z): When the copy type parameter
is CAA, the command is executable.
• Continuous Access Journal for Mainframe (Cnt Ac-J Z): When the copy type parameter is CAJ,
the command is executable.
• CMD: The command for operating command devices.
• PTH: The command for operating logical paths.
The product names or abbreviations following a parameter name indicate the copy types for which
that parameter is effective, independent of the copy type for which the command executes.
Commands without product names or abbreviations can be executed for any copy type.
If any of the parameters in a command are specified with incorrect syntax, those parameters may
be interpreted to perform an action different from the intended operation. To prevent unexpected
results, be sure to use the correct syntax when specifying parameters.
