Restart considerations

If recovery by IMS Database Recovery Facility is in progress when IMS abnormally ends, IMS Database Recovery Facility does not automatically start during IMS emergency restart.

You can start recovery by using one of the following methods:

• You can initiate IMS Database Recovery Facility in batch mode.
• You can initiate IMS Database Recovery Facility on a different IMS.

  You must enter the DBDSs and areas again.

  The old recovery list cannot be transferred from one IMS to another.

• You can initiate IMS Database Recovery Facility on the same IMS after restart completes.

  You must enter the DBDSs and areas.

  The old recovery list is not retained across restarts.

• You can use database recovery utilities other than IMS Database Recovery Facility to perform recovery.
