How CICS VR can help you

CICS® VR helps you recover your VSAM data sets in CICS VR VSAM batch logging, when the VSAM data sets are not accessed in record level sharing–mode following, and CICS TS environments.

Your VSAM data sets can be corrupted in the following situations:

• Physical loss or damage of VSAM data could occur because:
  • An application alters or deletes the data incorrectly.
  • A disaster occurs and the data at the entire site is destroyed.
  • A device failure makes part of a disk inaccessible or causes damage to certain files.
  • A batch application encounters an abend.
• Logical corruption of VSAM data due to incorrect updates or transactions.
