Summary: Every customer needs a Disaster Recovery (DR) plan. The strategies used differ from one customer to another and they differ in time to recovery and loss of data. For IMS®, there are five types of DR solutions: restart, recovery, recovery and restart, coordinated IMS and DB2® restart, and coordinated IMS and DB2 disaster recovery and restart. Here in Part 3, we explore both the recovery and recovery and restart solutions provided by the IMS Recovery Expert product.
