Performing quiet time analysis for a coordinated recovery profile

From the Log Analysis panel, you can build and run a job that searches the IMS and Db2® logs for periods of time when both the IMS database and the Db2 objects have no activity.

About this task

The Log Analysis job coordinates and displays the quiet times that you can use to recover the IMS database and the Db2 objects to a consistent point in time.

1. Specify 2 (Application Operations) on the IMS Recovery Expert main menu panel (BSY$MAIN) and press Enter.
2. Specify 2 (Coordinated Application Profiles) on the Application Operations Menu panel (BSY$APMN) and press Enter.
3. On the Enter Coordinated Recovery Profile Selection Criteria panel, specify your filter criteria and press Enter. For more information about the options on this panel, see Managing the coordinated recovery process.
4. On the Coordinated Recovery Profile Display panel, specify Q on the Cmd line next to the coordinated recovery profile for which you want to perform log analysis for Db2 object and IMS database quiet times. Press Enter.

5. On the Log Analysis panel, in the Log Range Type field, specify a time range within which IMS Recovery Expert and Db2 Recovery Expert will search the logs for the IMS database and Db2 objects quiet times. Specify P to indicate that a time span preceding the current time identifies the start and stop points in the log. Specify T to indicate that a time value identifies the start and stop points in the log. By default, the time range is set to Preceding by one hour based on the local client time.
6. In the Minimum Quiet Time field, specify the minimum duration for a quiet time to be included in the output or accept the default value, which is 00:02:00 (two minutes).
7. After specifying the time range for the analysis, press Enter. All the fields are validated and a Build Job panel opens. You can edit or run the log analysis job from the Build Job panel.
