Collecting and analyzing data with the System Setup facility

The IMS Recovery Expert System Setup facility collects and displays information about IMS system user catalogs, IMS system data sets, active logs, and related IMS database data sets.

Some System Level Backups require data set isolation. If this is the case in your environment, you must analyze the physical location of your data sets and the user catalogs for those data sets. You can use the System Setup facility to collect and display the information that you must ensure that your IMS system is configured correctly for data set isolation.

You can access the System Setup panel from the IMS Recovery Expert System Operations Menu by specifying option 1 - IMS System Analysis and Configuration.
