PBCS DATACOPY expected behavior.

in Planning 11 comments

Hi Guis,


Can someone please confirm below cases are as expected with DATACOPY command.


case #1: SET COPYMISSINGBLOCK OFF;
		 Source has block but copy intersection has #Missing 
		 Target doesn't have block
		 It doesn't copy and doesn't create block
case #2: SET COPYMISSINGBLOCK ON;
		 Source has block but copy intersection has #Missing 
		 Target doesn't have bock
		 It copy #Missing and create block
case #3: SET COPYMISSINGBLOCK OFF;
		 Source doesn't have block 
		 Target have bock
		 It copy #Missing since block exists at target
case #4: SET COPYMISSINGBLOCK ON;
		 Source doesn't have block 
		 Target have bock
		 It copy #Missing since block exists at target

My doubt was especially on case 3, where source doesn't have block but when you do DATACOPY with COPYMISSINGBLOCK OFF; clearing existing data at target by replacing them with #Missing.

Howdy, Stranger!
