DWW0708W Recovery to dddd will be performed even though the backup-while-open flags in the ICF catalog have a setting of vvv.

section

CICS® VR has interrogated the backup-while-open (BWO) flags in the ICF catalog for data set dddd, and has determined that the value of vvv should not prevent recovery from continuing. These details and descriptions of acceptable BWO flag settings assume that you are recovering to the backup of the data set, and not to the native data set as left by CICS:
For recovery, the data set is considered to be restored from a non-BWO backup.

Note: CICS VR cannot detect whether updates are in progress, and if splits occurred during a DFSMSdss physical dump. Only the DFSMSdss logical dump function is sensitive to the BWO flag settings and thus automatically preserves data integrity.

CICS VR continues with the recovery run.

  • Batch–Although recovery is performed, investigate why the BWO flags had these settings, before allowing the data set to be returned to CICS.
  • Online–Although recovery is performed, investigate why the BWO flags had these settings, before allowing the data set to be returned to CICS.
