Expanding a page set (COPYPAGE)

Note:

The COPYPAGE function is only used for expanding page sets. It is not used for making backup copies of page sets. If you want to do this, use AMS REPRO as described in How to back up and recover page sets. When you have used the COPYPAGE function, the page sets cannot be used by a queue manager with a different name, so do not rename your queue manager.

Use the COPYPAGE function to copy one or more page sets to a larger page set. All queues and messages on the page set are copied. If you copy page set zero, all the WebSphere MQ object definitions are also copied. Each page set is copied to a destination data set that must be formatted as a page set. Copying to a smaller page set is not supported.

If you use this function, modify the page set definition in the started task procedure to reflect the change of the name of the data set on which the new page set resides.

To use the COPYPAGE function, define DDnames in the range CSQS0000 through CSQS0099 for the source data sets, and define DDnames for the target data sets from CSQT0000 through CSQT0099 respectively.
