Recoverable and nonrecoverable data sets z/OS DFSMStvs Administration Guide GC52-1388-00 |
|
CICS® file control supports a recoverable/nonrecoverable
data set concept. The data set definition includes a recoverability
attribute LOG. The attribute options are specified as follows:
You can specify VSAM recoverable data set attributes in IDCAMS (access method services) DEFINE and ALTER commands. In the data class, you can specify LOG along with BWO and LOGSTREAMID. If you want to be able to back up a data set while it is open, you should define them using the IDCAMS BWO(TYPECICS) parameter. Only a CICS application or DFSMStvs can open a recoverable data set for output because VSAM RLS does not provide the logging and other transactional functions required for writing to a recoverable data set. When a data set is opened in a non-RLS access mode (NSR, LSR, or GSR), the recoverable attributes of the data set do not apply and are ignored. The recoverable data set rules have no impact on existing programs that do not use RLS access. |
