VERIFY output
The output of the VERIFY function is written to the RPTVERFY DD.
If you do not specify the RPTVERFY DD in the JCL, it is dynamically allocated to SYSOUT=*. Report output can be written to SYSOUT or to a data set. The characteristics of the output are RECFM=FBA,LRECL=133. Report output can also be written to the IMS Tools Knowledge Base by specifying the REPORT(ITKBOUT(YES)) keyword and parameter.
The default is REPORT(ITKBOUT(YES)).
The Verify Asset report consists of three main report sections. The following figure shows the sections of the Verify Asset report.

The major report sections are described here:
- Invocation Parameters
- This section of the report shows the options that VERIFY used
for its processing.
- PROCESS
- This field indicates what kind of verification is done on the assets (LIST, ALLOC, or OPEN).
- SOURCE
- This field displays whether to verify primary or secondary image copy records. In the last report sample, the primary image copies are verified.
- RCVTIME
- This field displays the recovery time during which you want to verify assets for this recovery.
- TYPE
- This field is the type of recovery, either TSR or PITR, that is requested.
- Summary Report
- This section of the report displays the databases that were selected
for verification and the overall status of each database and DD name.
The following list describes the column fields that are displayed:
- Database Name
- This column specifies the database name.
- DD/Area Name
- This column specifies the area name for fast path databases or the partition name for HALDB databases. This column is blank for full function databases.
- DSID
- This column specifies the data set identification number that is associated with this DD or AREA name.
- Data Set Type
- This column specifies the type of database: full-function, Fast Path, or HALDB.
- Status
- This column specifies the overall status of all of the assets that were verified.
- Data Set I/O Report
- This section of the report displays the individual status of each asset that has been processed
by VERIFY. It begins by showing the Recover-To Point, which is the value that you specified on the
VERIFY keyword. This report consists of three sections. Each section shows a different type of
recovery asset:
- Image copy data sets
- Change accumulation data sets
- Log data sets
- Image Copy Data Sets
-
- Image Copy Data Set Name
- This column specifies the name of the image copy data set for each database data set that was verified.
- Volume Serial
- This column specifies the volume serial number of the image copy data set for each database data set that was verified.
- IC Type
- This column specifies the type of image copy for each database data set that was verified. Valid
values for this field are shown in the following table:
Table 1. Valid values for IC Type in the Verify Asset report IC Type listed Meaning STD Standard Image Copy IC2 Image Copy 2 IC EXT Extended Image Copy HISAM UNL HISAM Unload SLB-CIC-O * The System Level Backup is concurrent and is offloaded to a sequential device. For the ALLOC or OPEN process, the offload data set names are the ones operated and reported on; not the data set name in the RECON IC record. SLB-CIC-F * The System Level Backup is concurrent and is on a fast-replication capable volume. SLB-BAT-O * The System Level Backup is batch and is offloaded to a sequential device. For the ALLOC or OPEN process, the offload data set names are the ones operated and reported on; not the data set name in the RECON IC record. SLB-BAT-F * The System Level Backup is batch and is on a fast-replication capable volume. SLB-RECON * This IC type indicates that the data set name on the report is symbolic only and represents the fact that a RECON IC record exists for the SLB. Because this data set name is symbolic only, it cannot be allocated or opened. This data set name is always displayed for VERIFY(LIST). Note: * If IMS Recovery Expert is available and USESLBIC(YES) is specified, the VERIFY function causes IMS Recovery Expert to write an image copy record to the RECON which represents the System Level Backup. The image copy record receives a data set name in the form ofSLB.Ixxxx.Dxxxx.dbdname.ddname, and this image copy record is used during VERIFY function processing.If there is already an image copy record for the System Level Backup, or if no System Level Backup is available relative to the specified RCVTIME parameter, no image copy record is written to the RECON.
If USESLBIC(Y) is set, and either VERIFY(ALLOC) or VERIFY(OPEN) is specified, and the SLB has been offloaded from the fast-replication device, then the offload data sets display if they exist.
- Status of Allocate/Open
- This column displays the return code from the ALLOC or OPEN process. If the process was successful, the return code is zero.
- Change Accumulation Data Sets
-
- Change Accum Data Set Name
- This column specifies the name of the change accumulation data set for each database data set that was verified.
- Volume Serial
- This column specifies the volume serial number of the change accumulation data set for each database data set that was verified.
- Status of Allocate/Open
- This column shows the return code from the ALLOC or OPEN process. If the process was successful, the return code will be zero.
- Log Data Sets
-
- Log Data Set Name
- This column specifies the name of the log data set for each database data set that was verified.
- Volume Serial
- This column specifies the volume serial number of the log data set for each database data set that was verified.
- IMS SYSID
- This column shows the SYSID that is associated with the IMS that created the log.
- Status of Allocate/Open
- This column shows the return code from the ALLOC or OPEN process. If the process was successful, the return code is zero.
