RECOVGRP

A RECOVGRP (recovery group) is a group type in the RECON. It is a kind of database group that can be used with the IMS Database Recovery Facility and DBRC commands anywhere that a database group can be used.

RECOVGRP (recovery group) differs from a regular database group in the following ways:
  • All members must be registered with DBRC.
  • A member can belong to only one recovery group.

    If a member belongs to a recovery group, the group name is stored in the DB record for full-function or in the AAUTH record for an area.

  • A member's presence in a recovery group can affect the IMS Database Recovery Facility process.

    When the IMS Database Recovery Facility is about to perform a time stamp recovery, either to an allocation boundary or to any point in time for a recovery group member, it ensures that all members of the recovery group are recovered in the same recovery operation unless you specified otherwise with the NOCHECK parameter.
