Using a profile to build a recovery job
Recovery jobs can be built from object profiles, utility profiles, and job profiles.
About this task
Procedure
- Specify B in the Cmd line next to the object or job profile you want to build a recovery job for.
-
On the Build Job panel, specify the following information:
Figure 1. Build Job for Profile panel Build Job for TSKGE.TEST Recovery Point 1 ( 1 Current, 2 Timestamp, 3 PIT, 4 RPID) Recovery Timestamp Edit Generated Job Y (Yes/No) Utility Options E (Edit/Select) Build Recovery JCL Only N (Yes/No) Build job in Dataset BSY.TST0220.SAMPLIB Member BSY#IERQ Job Cards: ==> //OBJREST JOB TS5866,CLASS=A,NOTIFY=&SYSUID ==> //* ==> //* ==> //*- Recovery Point
- Specify 1 to recover the objects to the current point in time. Specify 2 to recover the objects to a selected timestamp. Specify 3 to recover the objects to a selected point in time. Specify 4 for a list of quiet times to recover the application.
- Recovery Timestamp
- If you specified 2 or 3 in the Recovery
Point field, specify a timestamp in the Recovery Timestamp
field.
Time timestamp can be specified in a local timestamp format (yydddhhmmssthmiju or yydddhhmmsst) or in a UTC timestamp format (yydddhhmmsstShhmm), where Shhmm is a numeric offset that, when added, gives local time. For S, specify a plus (+) or minus (-) sign. For hh, specify a numeric value between 00 and 14. For mm, specify a value from the set [00, 15, 30, 45] such that Shhmm is a value between -1100 and +1400.
- Edit Generated Job
- Specify Y to view the job in an ISPF edit session after generation. If you specify N, you will return to the previous panel after the job is generated.
- Utility Options
- (Available when building from Object Profile) Specify E to edit the utility options for recovery prior to building the JCL. Specify S to select a Utility Profile to set utility options with.
- Objects Option
- (Available when building from Utility Profile) Specify E to edit the objects to be recovered. Specify S to select an Object Profile to designate the objects for recovery.
- Edit Recovery Options
- (Available when building from Job Profile) Specify Y to edit or review recovery options before building the JCL. Upon pressing Enter, the Recovery Options panel is displayed.
- Build Recovery JCL Only
- Specify Y if you want the generated job to build the JCL required to perform database recovery, but to not submit the jobs.
- Build job in Dataset member
- Specify the fully qualified data set name (without quotes) where you want to save the generated job. This data set must exist and can be sequential or a PDS. If the data set is a PDS, specify a member name. If the member does not exist, IMS Recovery Expert will create it.
- Job Cards
- Specify a valid job card for your site.
- Press Enter to continue, or PF3 to cancel.
-
Specify the UIC timestamp (only if Recovery Resources is
set to U).
If Recovery Resources is set to U on the Recovery utility profile, the UIC Timestamp panel (BSY$UICT) is displayed. You must enter the UIC RUN timestamp and UIC STOP timestamp values, and then restore DBDS from User Image Copy prior to submitting a recovery JCL.
Figure 2. UIC Timestamp panel (BSY$UICT) UIC Timestamp for TSKGE.TEST U (UIC) has been set for Recovery Resource type. For this recovery resource type, you must do the following: (1) Input accurate timestamp for the UIC. UIC RUN Timestamp 23071223644000000 UIC STOP Timestamp 23071223644500000 (2) Restore DBDS from UIC by yourself before submitting recovery JCL. Warning: If either (1) or (2) is not done correctly, DB recovery process may cause unpredictable result. Press ENTER to process of PF3 to Cencel- UIC RUN Timestamp
- Specify the start time of User Image Copy creation. The input format is the same as Recovery Timestamp.
- UIC STOP Timestamp
- Specify the stop time of User Image Copy creation. The input format
is the same as Recovery Timestamp. Time timestamp can be specified in a local timestamp format (yydddhhmmssthmiju or yydddhhmmsst) or in a UTC timestamp format (yydddhhmmsstShhmm), where Shhmm is a numeric offset that, when added, gives local time. For S, specify a plus (+) or minus (-) sign. For hh, specify a numeric value between 00 and 14. For mm, specify a value from the set [00, 15, 30, 45] such that Shhmm is a value between -1100 and +1400. The values for UIC RUN Timestamp, UIC STOP Timestamp (BSY$UICT), and Recovery Timestamp (BSYPRCBD) must satisfy the following condition:
UIC RUN Timestamp < UIC STOP Timestamp < Recovery TimestampCaution: Although you can create User Image Copy at any time, not all User Image Copies are eligible for database recovery. With the Build Recovery JCL Only option, you can check whether the User Image Copy is eligible prior to restoring DBDS from User Image Copy. See also Eligible User Image Copy.
- Submit the JCL.
