VERIFY usage example

Use the Verify Recovery Assets function (VERIFY) to verify the availability of recovery assets.

You can set up VERIFY to run on a scheduled basis to periodically check for problems that might affect database recovery. VERIFY can also be used at the disaster recovery (DR) site to ensure that your DR site is recoverable. All recovery assets that are recorded in DBRC must be usable.

If you are attempting to recover a set of databases to a specific time, and you want to identify any problems related to image copies, change accumulation data sets, and log data sets that will be used as input to that recovery, specify the following control cards to report on all of the assets for all of the databases in the DBLIST.

Example

The following example uses primary log records and primary image copy data sets for verification. It allocates or opens all of the assets to verify that the data sets are usable. It reports on only those assets that are recorded before the timestamp.

    DBLIST( DB (DB1  DB2  DB3) )
    VERIFY( TYPE(OPEN)
            TIME(timestamp)
            RCVTYPE(TSR)
            SOURCE(PRI)
          )
