Recovery from a batch nonstandard image copy

If you are using a batch nonstandard user image copy, before you can run the Database Recovery utility, but after you restore the DBDS or DEDB area from the image copy, you must issue the NOTIFY.RECOV command to notify DBRC that you restored the data set or area.

If the time stamp of the nonstandard image copy is within the range of an existing time stamp recovery, the NOTIFY.RECOV command fails. If the NOTIFY.RECOV command is successful, you can then run the Database Recovery utility to add changes that occurred since the time stamp of the nonstandard image copy data set. DBRC provides and verifies JCL only for the sources of change records to be applied to the already-restored DBDS or DEDB area.

If you are using a batch nonstandard image copy and you use the GENJCL.RECOV command to generate the recovery JCL, include the USEDBDS parameter to indicate that no image copy data set is to be included in the generated JCL.
