Specifying the log stream type

Use the CICS® VR log stream type secondary window to select the type of log stream, MVS log stream or QSAM copy of the MVS log stream, that you want CICS VR to use during construction of the recovery job.

After you have entered the recovery parameters for all of the previously selected VSAM spheres, and if one or more of the selected spheres has an associated MVS log stream, the CICS VR log stream type secondary window opens. This selection applies only to the VSAM spheres that have an associated MVS log stream. See LOGSTREAMCOPY: Copy an MVS log streamCICS VR Implementation Guide and Reference for more information about using the LOGSTREAMCOPY command to create a QSAM copy of an MVS log stream.
