RECOV GENJCL member name

Define a skeletal member name to be used for the recovery utility.

Delete/Define PDS DSN

Define the data set name of a PDS that contains IDCAMS statements in order to delete and redefine the data sets being recovered prior to running the recovery utility. The PDS should contain a member matching the DD or ADS name associated with each data set.

Include indexes in recovery list

Specify Y if you want indexes to be included in the recovery list, or specify N if you do not want indexes to be included in the recovery list.

If Y is specified, then a GENJCL.USER GENTYPE=DATASET GENPHAS=SYSIN will be made for each index. If N is specified, then these calls are not made.

For example, if you are using the IMS Database Recovery Facility for recovery, it has the ability to perform an integrated index rebuild of associated indexes. To do this, the indexes are not included in the recovery list, and instead the associated IB() control statements need to be specified to drive an index rebuild.

Datasets for GENJCL

The data set concatenation for skeleton JCL search are displayed here. This field is not updatable on this panel.

Press Enter, or specify END on the Option line to return to the Recovery Options panel, or specify CAN to cancel.
