Using Advanced Image Copy Services with the Recovery function

Although the FASTIC keyword is not supported for the recovery (RCV) control statement, recovery detects the type of image copy and recovers the database data set using the appropriate technique.

If the image copy used for recovery was created using FASTIC=(,DUMP) processing, it will be in the same format as a batch image copy or a compressed image copy, and recovery will function as it does for a batch image copy or a compressed image copy. If the image copy used for recovery is a Fast Recovery image copy, IMS HP Image Copy uses the DFSMSdss API to restore the database and then forward recovery occurs, if needed.
