Recovery tokens

In a DBCTL environment, you need to correlate the information that is produced by the CCTL with information that is produced by the DBCTL. The link between the CCTL and DBCTL is the recovery token, which uniquely identifies each unit of recovery (UOR).

Recovery token details

The recovery token appears in the DRA dump (both SDUMPs and SNAP dumps) and in the dump title. The recovery token contains a mixture of EBCDIC and hexadecimal data as shown:

CCTL subsystem ID 8 bytes (EBCDIC): Unique UOR ID (created by the CCTL) 8 bytes (hexadecimal)
