            BSY$SSIW                     
                                                                                
               IMS System           (? for system list)                         
               Backup Method  L     (Bcv/Snap/Flash/disk(L))                    
             F1=HELP     F2=SPLIT    F3=END      F4=RETURN

  3. On the Enter IMS System or Group panel, specify a subsystem ID in the IMS System field, and the backup method to perform on the IMS system in the Backup Method field. The SSID or group name must have been defined in the IMS Recovery Expert setup panels before you can proceed.
  4. Press Enter to start the system analysis. If the subsystem has previously been analyzed, the Data Found in Repository panel is displayed.

    This system has been previously analyzed.         
    You may display the stored data from the          
    repository or have this system re-analyzed.       
                                                      
       Re-analyze System Info  N (Yes/No)

You can view the most recent analysis, or reanalyze the system. The previous analysis is saved in the IMS Recovery Expert repository. To retrieve it and view it, specify N in the Reanalyze IMS System Info field and press Enter. To reanalyze the system, specify Y in the Reanalyze IMS System Info field and press Enter.
