       SSID    Like  IAA

     F5=          F6=RCHANGE   F7=UP        F8=DOWN     
    

  2. On the Enter Profile Like to Display panel, you can limit the profiles that are listed on the next panel by specifying a profile name, profile creator name, or SSID. You can use wildcard characters for one or all fields; an asterisk (*) is the only supported wildcard character.
    Note: You can change the SSID on this panel to see job profiles on different systems, but you can only use a job profile that was created for the system on which the backup was taken.
  3. Press Enter.

  6. On the Build Image Copy Job panel, specify information in the following fields:
    Edit Generated Job
    Specify Y to view the job in an ISPF edit session after generation. If you specify N, you will return to the Restore System Display panel after the job is generated.
    Edit Image Copy Options
    Specify Y if you want to edit options for the image copy, including the data set name specifications, work volumes, and so on. Options must be set the first time you create a job for an image copy from a System Level Backup. Subsequent jobs use the previous settings if you do not specify to edit the options.
    Build job in Dataset/Member
    Specify the fully qualified data set name (without quotes) where you want to save the generated job. This data set must exist and can be sequential or a PDS. If the data set is a PDS, specify a member name. If the member does not exist, IMS Recovery Expert will create it.

    Specify a valid job card for your site.
