Mainframe Enablers TimeFinder SnapVX and zDP 8.5 Product Guide

TimeFinder is a family of local replication products. The products allow you to nondisruptively create and manage point-in-time copies of data, enabling simultaneous action of business tasks that were previously sequential. For example, TimeFinder allows you to create a point-in-time copy of critical data while this data continues to be used in production operations.

The ability to access source data during the TimeFinder copy operation can increase the availability of the application. TimeFinder can also shorten backup windows, maintenance windows and improve service levels.

This manual provides the command and parameter details for using TimeFinder SnapVX, which is a TimeFinder product that supports the z/OS mainframe environment as one of the components of Mainframe Enablers.
