Migrating to z/OS Version 1 Release 4 z/OS DFSMStvs Administration Guide GC52-1388-00 |
|||||||||||||||||||
This topic provides information that you need to consider before migrating your z/OS® system to use DFSMStvs and describes migration tasks. For more information on migrating DFSMS to z/OS Version 1 Release 4, see z/OS Migration. DFSMStvs enables you to run batch VSAM processing
concurrently with CICS® online transactions. You can
run multiple batch jobs and online transactions against the same VSAM
data, in data sets defined as recoverable, with concurrent updates.
DFSMStvs offers these features:
Building on the functionality of VSAM RLS, DFSMStvs provides transactional capability within the file system. If a batch job fails during concurrent shared updates of recoverable VSAM data sets, DFSMStvs provides the services to back out any changes that the batch job made automatically, restoring the data to the state it was in at the last synchronization point (commit or back out). You can use DFSMStvs in two major areas:
DFSMStvs also supports forward recovery logging for data sets that are defined as forward recoverable (the LOG parameter value is ALL). If data is lost or damaged, you can restore it from a backup, and you can use a forward recovery utility such as CICS VSAM Recovery (CICSVR) to reapply changes that were made since the last backup. CICSVR automates the recovery of lost or damaged VSAM data sets. It determines what CICS journals and VSAM backups are needed, and it constructs the recovery jobs. CICSVR provides automated complete recovery, forward recovery, and backout functions. CICSVR VSAM batch logging is available with CICS VSAM Recovery V3R1. For more information about CICSVR, see the CICS Transaction Server for z/OS Information Center at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/cicsts/v3r1/index.jsp . Implementing DFSMStvs could affect the following areas of your processing environment. Implementing DFSMStvs could
