Generating the Db2 object recovery plans

Db2 Recovery Expert generates one or more recovery plans that you can select from to recover the Db2® objects that have been included in the coordinated recovery profile.

About this task

Recovery jobs are generated differently for Db2 objects and IMS databases. Db2 Recovery Expert does all the analysis on the different recovery options from the user interface, and then generates the JCL for the plan that you select. IMS Recovery Expert determines the way to recover the databases at execution time based on the recovery options defined in the IMS job profile. For a coordinated recovery, you first generate the Db2 object recovery plans and select one to use to build the Db2 object recovery job. You then build the IMS application recovery job.

Procedure

  1. The Generate Recovery Plans Panel opens automatically after you select a recovery point from the Select Recovery Point panel.
