NONRLSRECOV

The NONRLSRECOV system initialization parameter specifies whether CICS uses the recovery options of the VSAM catalog or the FILE resource for non-RLS files, including the CSD.

NONRLSRECOV={VSAMCAT|FILEDEF}
Recovery options do not apply to read-only files. Valid values are as follows:
VSAMCAT
By default, CICS uses the recovery options that are specified on the VSAM catalog for non-RLS files. These recovery options include the LOG, LOGSTREAMID, and BWO options. If no recovery options are set, CICS uses the attributes on the FILE resource.
FILEDEF
For non-RLS files, including the CSD, CICS ignores any recovery options on the catalog and uses the values specified in the FILE resource instead. The recovery attributes for the CSD are set by the appropriate system initialization parameters.
