Synchronization Options
Catalog mapping
The information supplied by MAPNAMES is also used to perform SQL catalog volume 
mapping. You should include mapnames-file entries if catalogs are located on different 
volumes or subvolumes on the destination system. 
Note that SQL catalogs are never synchronized by AutoSYNC, but synchronized SQL 
objects have references to SQL catalogs that might require name mapping.
AutoSYNC default catalog mapping is designed to select a valid volume where a 
catalog can be created with AUTOCREATECATALOG and CATALOG options. If you 
have a more specific requirement, specify explicit catalogs for the SQL objects being 
synchronized by adding catalog mapping entries in mapnames-file. The catalog 
mapping entries follow file mapping entries, and are preceded by the keyword 
“CATALOGS:”, including the colon (:), as follows:
CATALOGS entries are checked for proper syntax, and passed along to the RESTORE 
process.
To find out the file name and catalog mapping being supplied to RESTORE, specify 
KEEPBACKUPINFILE and examine the ZRSnnnnn file in the destination MapDB 
subvolume.

one-time and scheduled synchronizations.
