Creating utility profiles

A utility profile allows you to specify only the recovery options used when a recovery operation is performed.

About this task

Complete the following steps to create a utility profile:

Procedure

Specify 3 on the Application Operations Menu panel (BSY$APMN) and press Enter.
Figure 1. Enter Profile Selection Criteria panel
```
            Enter Profile Selection Criteria 
     Profile Like  *________________________________ 
     Creator Like  *_____________                    
     SSID    Like  *____                             
```
On the Enter Profile Selection Criteria panel, you can limit the profiles that are listed. Specify a profile name, profile creator name, or SSID to do so. You can use the asterisk (*) as a wildcard character for any and all fields. Press Enter when finished. The Utility Profile Display panel will be displayed.
Specify C on the Cmd line and press Enter.

On the Enter New Recovery Options Profile Data panel specify a Profile Name, Description, and IMS System.

   Share Option U  (Update, View only, No access)

You may also control access to this profile using the Share Option field. Specify U to allow other users access to update the profile. Specify V to allow others to only view the profile. Specify N to deny any other users access to the profile.

Press Enter.
On the Recovery Options panel, specify the following information:

```
Recovery Resources

Specify which recovery resources to consider for recovery. Specify A for all resources (System Level Backups and image copies), S for System Level Backups only, I for image copies only, or U for User Image Copies only.
Caution: U (User Image Copies) is not included in A (All). If U is specified, IMS Recovery Expert does not restore DBDS from User Image Copy. You must restore DBDS by yourself. If U is specified, the UIC Timestamp panel (BSY$UICT) is displayed when building a recovery job. You must enter the UIC RUN timestamp and UIC STOP timestamp values, and then restore DBDS from User Image Copy prior to submitting a recovery JCL. See also User Image Copy.
Specify Y in the Edit Options field to specify SLB-only parameters for recovery. For more information, see Setting SLB parameters.

Execute Recovery

The only valid value for this field is Y.
Specify Y in the Edit Options field to specify recovery utility options.

Execute Index Rebuild

Specify Y (Yes) or N (No) to indicate whether you want to perform index rebuild.
You may also specify R (Rcvutil) to perform index rebuild as an integrated utility. This allows the restart code to process correctly if some related indexes were not rebuilt.
Specify Y in the Edit Options field to specify index rebuild options. For more information, see Setting index rebuild options.

Execute Change Accum

Specify Y (Yes) or N (No) to indicate whether you want to execute change accumulation prior to executing the recovery utility.
Specify Y in the Edit Options field to specify change accumulation options. For more information, see Setting change accumulation options.

Create Post Recovery IC

Specify Y (Yes) or N (No) to indicate whether you want to create image copies for recovered databases.
You may also specify R (Rcvutil) to create image copies for recovered databases as an integrated utility. This allows the restart code to process correctly if an image copy does not exist after recovery.
Specify Y in the Edit Options field to specify Post Recovery Image Copy options. For more information, see Setting post recovery image copy options.

Update Spawned Job Options

Specify Y (Yes) to specify Spawned Job options or N (No) to use the default method for generating the jobcard and/or jobname. For more information, see Setting spawned job options.

Action on Warnings

Specify how you want to process warnings that are issued during recovery. Specify C to continue, W to issue a WTOR, or A to abort.

GENJCL defaults member

Specify a member to be used as the GENJCL defaults when GENJCL is executed. If specified, this member will be included on the GENJCL command using the DEFAULTS() keyword.
This member can be used to pass system-specific keywords and values to the GENJCL process when creating the JCL needed to perform recovery and other recovery-related processes.

Datasets for GENJCL

Specify up to 5 data sets for GENJCL skeletons. The data sets are concatenated in the specified order. The GENCJL members and GENJCL defaults member specified in the Recovery Options must exist in one of these data sets.

Note: When Recovery Options are created the values on the prior panels are pre-populated with the default values found in the BSY#PARM or BSY#SSID members as described in IMS recovery process parameters.
Press PF3 to proceed, or enter CAN in the Option line to cancel the action.
