Refreshing databases

This section describes the basic steps for database refresh using the ISPF interface.

Note: Be sure the DDs required for refreshing databases have been created before attempting to build a database refresh profile.

Start the ISPF interface and create a database refresh profile. After the database refresh profile has been created, the Edit IMS Database Refresh Profile menu is displayed, as shown in the following figure:
