Answer / thiruvenkata varaga moorthy
After a Bulk Load of the Table or Table Space by means of a
DB2 Load Utility, we need to go for an Image Copy so as to
restore the system in case of some unexpected situations.
Generally, DB2 system itself will expect such an imagecopy
and will prompt the message in the output saying 'Image
Copy Required', 'Table Space Remains in Copy Pending State'.
It is upto the wish of the programmer either to go for an
Image Copy or to cancel the Copy Pend state by means of the
Repair set.
