Recovery period of image copy data sets

The recovery period is the amount of time before the current date for which DBRC maintains recovery information in the RECON data set.

For example, if the recovery period of a DBDS or area is 14 days, DBRC maintains sufficient recovery-generation information for at least 14 days.

You specify the recovery period using the GENMAX and RECOVPD keywords of the INIT.DBDS and CHANGE.DBDS commands. The examples in these topics describe the effects of various DBRC keywords on the recovery period.
