Auditability considerations

Log records are written as part of IMS Database Recovery Facility processing in online mode and are ignored during IMS restart because they are intended as diagnostic aids only.

Trace entries are made to the internal trace tables of the address spaces that are participating in IMS Database Recovery Facility.

The trace tables are dumped in the event of IMS Database Recovery Facility abnormal end.

Database data set and area recovery status is maintained in the RECON by DBRC.

This RECON status determines the availability of database data sets and areas to IMS subsystems.
