CICS VR data set list feature
Another way you can create groups of VSAM spheres for use with CICS® VR is with the CICS VR data set list feature.
This feature allows you to enter the name of a data set that contains a list of VSAM spheres as input to CICS VR. The data set can be either sequential or a member of a Partitioned Data Set (PDS). The CICS VR dialog interface then guides you through the creation and submission of a recovery job for the VSAM spheres that were listed in the entered data set
The CICS VR data set list feature allows a more flexible
way of grouping VSAM spheres because you can create and populate the data
set list using any method you want, for example; ISPF or JCL. Create either
a sequential data set or a member of a PDS for each group you want to define.
Then, simply add the name of each VSAM sphere you want to include in the
group as a separate record into the data set. Next, enter the name the data
set on the CICS VR
VSAM sphere list include
secondary window. CICS VR guides
you through the creation and submission of a recovery job for the VSAM spheres
in the group.
