    Log Range Type
    Specify a time range within which the search for an object's quiet time will occur.

    Specify P (Preceding) to indicate that a specific time span preceding the current time will be used to specify where to begin and where to stop reading the log to find a quiet time. If you select this option, you must specify the time span details in Preceding Type and Preceding Value fields. By default, the time range is set to P by 1 hour using the local client time.

    Specify T (Timestamp) to indicate that specific time values will be used to specify where to begin and where to stop reading the log to find a quiet time. If you select this option, you must specify the start and end time in the Beginning Timestamp and End Timestamp fields.

    Preceding Type
    Specify whether the preceding time is in hours (H) or in minutes (M).
    Preceding Value
    Specify the number of hours or minutes, as specified in the Preceding Type field. Valid values are 0-99.
    Beginning Timestamp
    Specify the beginning time for the range. Specify timestamp values in the following format: YYYY - MM - DD - HH - MM - SS.
    End Timestamp
    Specify the end time for the range. Specify timestamp values in the following format: YYYY - MM - DD - HH - MM - SS.
    DBRC Only
    Specify y if you want times that the databases were not allocated. Specify N if you want the archive logs read to determine a time where no updates occurred for the databases.
    Minimum Quiet Time
    Specify a time value that represents the minimum duration of quiet time for an object to be included in the output. The default value is 00:00:05 (5 seconds).
  3. When you are finished, press Enter.
  4. On the Build Job panel, specify the following information:

    Edit Generated Job
    Specify Y to view the job in an ISPF edit session after generation. If you specify N, you will return to the previous panel after the job is generated.
    Build job in Dataset member
    Specify the fully qualified data set name (without quotes) where you want to save the generated job. This data set must exist and can be sequential or a PDS. If the data set is a PDS, specify a member name. If the member does not exist, IMS Recovery Expert will create it.
