This section describes Copy Active File (CPYACTF) command exit points and the programming requirements for using these exit points. The CPYACTF command is included within Assure MIMIX Enterprise.
In normal processing of a copy operation, service programs provided by Precisely call a series of exit points. Data exit points are called when the CPYACTF process is performing data movement. Control exit points are called at various other points in the processing which do not involve data movement. If you want to provide customized processing for data changes or for managing the copy operation, such as when coordinating activity with a change management program, you can specify either exit programs or service programs.
If you specify an exit program on a CPYACTF job, the Precisely-supplied service program will call your exit program at appropriate points during processing. If you specify a user-defined service program, your service program replaces the processing performed by the Precisely-supplied service program and must take responsibility for controlling the copy operation.
