Reviewing output from offloading a backup
When offloading a backup, IMS Recovery Expert writes messages to the offload job's DD statements. Access and review these DD statements to determine if the offload was successful.
BSYOUT DD (BSYOFFL step)
This DD contains the backup profile information, control cards, and IMS Recovery Expert messages. The following figure shows a sample
BSYOUT DD.
Note: Some lines that generally
appear as single lines appear as two lines in this sample for display
purposes.
