    Hi,

    I am an application architect on IBM's contract with State of California Office of Systems Integration customer. We are trying to implement daily FlashCopy imagecopies in our Db2 z/OS production environment, per customer's request. But, our customer wants to keep just one set of FlashCopy imagecopies in production, due to resource constraints. This means that we have to overlay the FlashCopy imagecopies every morning. I tried to use Modify Recovery to delete the FlashCopy imagecopies before creating the new set of copies. But, Modify Recovery requires me to do a Copy2Copy. But, we cannot do this due to resource constraints. Can someone suggest an alternative?

    Thanks in advance.
