Denial of authorization for recovery utility

If DBRC denies authorization for an IMS recovery utility to run, you might receive message DFS3710A, which usually indicates that a previous recovery utility abended while processing and did not release its database authorization.

To recover in this situation, delete the subsystem record in the RECON data set using either the following command sequence or API request sequence:

• Command sequence:
  1. CHANGE.SUBSYS SSID(name) STARTRCV
  2. CHANGE.SUBSYS SSID(name) ENDRECOV
  3. DELETE.SUBSYS SSID(name)
  For more information about the DBRC commands, see IMS Version 15.2 Commands, Volume 3: IMS Component and z/OS® Commands.
• API request sequence:
  1. DSPAPI FUNC=COMMAND COMMAND=CHANGE.SUBSYS SSID(name) STARTRCV
  2. DSPAPI FUNC=COMMAND COMMAND=CHANGE.SUBSYS SSID(name) ENDRECOV
  3. DSPAPI FUNC=COMMAND COMMAND=DELETE.SUBSYS SSID(name)
  For more information about the DBRC API, see IMS Version 15.2 System Programming APIs.
