How an application program establishes the DBRC API environment

Your application program establishes the application programming interface (API) environment by using the DSPAPI FUNC=STARTDBRC macro. This macro function initializes the API, creates a connection to the Database Recovery Control (DBRC) RECON data sets, and returns the API token.

Requirements:
  • The API token must be specified for all subsequent API calls.
  • All API requests must be issued under the same task control block (TCB) where the FUNC=STARTDBRC was issued.
