Implementing your IBM Z Workload Scheduler DRP

The backup requirements and recovery process for each of the defined IBM Z Workload Scheduler DRP conditions are detailed in the following sections. The plan must be fully documented; you cannot assume that your most experienced IBM Z Workload Scheduler person is available to conduct the recovery.

If both your primary and secondary data centers use DFSMS, consider using DFSMShsm ABARS for data backup and restore. ABARS simplifies the backup and recovery process. Also, if you define backups for all data sets with a particular high-level data set name, you can ensure that all required data sets are backed up.
