Data Sets and Libraries
This appendix lists each IBM Z® Batch Resiliency data set and library by name and provides a corresponding explanation.
| File name | Purpose |
|---|---|
| hlq.AUDITDB | The Audit database. This file contains a list of all files that were encountered but were not part of an application defined in USERMAC(APPTABLE). It can be used as an audit mechanism to determine if production files are being in non-production jobs. |
| hlq.AUDITL2 | Contains discarded records filtered out of the AUDITDB file during the HISMAINT process. |
| hlq.AUDTDS | An intermediate file used by Real-Time Analysis to store audit data (that is, non-production files). This file is flushed every 10 minutes to the AUDITDB file. |
| hlq.BAUDFLAT | A backup of the BKUPAUD data set (see below). |
| hlq.BKUPAUD | This file tracks all changes to the backup table and can be used to recreate the backup table if it becomes corrupted (contact Technical Support). |
| hlq.BKUPJCL | A PDS containing the ABARS Verify JCL if ABARS is a selected backup method. Otherwise, this file is not used. |
| hlq.BKUPJCL.BKUPMETH | Generated Backup JCL for a particular backup method. BKUPMETH refers to the utility used to backup files. For example, hlq.BKUPJCL.DSS. See description of the BKUPMETH file in this table below. |
| hlq.BKUPMETH | A small data set containing a list of all supported backup methods and which of those are in use in this installation. This file also contains the name of the backup and restore data sets for the backup methods. |
| hlq.BKUPTBL | A VSAM KSDS used to track backups of critical data sets. This file is used in the generation of the restore JCL. It is needed at a disaster recovery site to generate RESTORE JCL. |
| hlq.BKUPFLAT | The unloaded BKUPTBL. This file is used to back up the backup table and by restoring it, reorganizes the BKUPTBL, a VSAM KSDS. |
| hlq.BRNDAPD | Dynamic Apptable Applications listing. |
| hlq.BRNDAPJ | Dynamic Apptable Jobs listing. |
| hlq.CHKPOINT.SYSsysid | Checkpoint file used by the SMF Extractor. sysid is the SYSID of the system from which the extractor is run. |
| hlq.CNTL | JCL to run IBM Z Batch Resiliency. |
| hlq.CRITICAL | The Critical File List. It is used for reporting only in the non-SAS releases. |
| hlq.DB2BRNCR | Critical Db2® files. |
| hlq.DB2BRNLG | Db2 Image Copy files. |
| hlq.DIST.LIBRARY | The installation control JCL for IBM Z Batch Resiliency. |
| hlq.DMS | This file is obsolete. |
| hlq.HISTORY | IBM Z Batch Resiliency History database. The keyed history feature database is built from this file. |
| hlq.HISTRYL2 | Contains discarded records filtered out of the HISTORY file during the HISMAINT process. |
| hlq.HSMACT | Sequential data set used to track ABAR log data sets read by program ABARBKUP. |
| hlq.IMS.RECONLST | An unloading of the IMS RECON file. |
| hlq.IMS.RECONOUT | Processed RECONLST to isolate backup information for IMS. |
| hlq.IMS.RESPRT | List of IMS RESLIB files. |
| hlq.INVMAINT.NEGFILE | List of data sets deleted during the INVMAINT process. |
| hlq.INVENTRY | The IBM Z Batch Resiliency Inventory database. This file contains data about all files defined to production applications. |
| hlq.KEYDHIST | History data set keyed by data set name. |
| hlq.KEYJHIST | History data set keyed by job name. |
| hlq.MODEL | Model DSCB for IBM Z Batch Resiliency Analysis database and Backup Table Recovery Files. |
| hlq.ODTCKPT | A checkpoint file for the Real-Time Analysis process. This file and the RTACKPT file provide backup of the data in memory for the Real-Time Analysis process in case something causes it to abnormally terminate. |
| hlq.PRODDS | SMF data relating to production data set from the last collection. |
| hlq.REPORTS | IBM Z Batch Resiliency reports library. |
| hlq.RESTJCL | A PDS containing IBM Z Batch Resiliency-generated restore JCL. |
| hlq.RESTJCL.BKUPMETH | A PDS containing JCL/control statements to restore critical files successfully backed up in the backup table. BKUPMETH refers to the utility used to backup files. For example, hlq.RESTJCL.DSS. See description of the BKUPMETH file in this table above. |
| hlq.RESTTBL | This table tracks files that have been restored and is necessary to be at a disaster recovery site. If, for some reason, any of the RESTJCL.BKUPMETH libraries should be corrupted at the disaster recovery site, or it is necessary to restart the restore process, running the RESTJCL job taking this file as an input creates the JCL to restore the outstanding files. |
| hlq.RTACKPT | A checkpoint file for the Real-Time Analysis engine. This file and the ODTCKPT file provide backup of the data in memory for the Real-Time Analysis process in case something causes it to abnormally terminate. |
| hlq.RTCMDQ | This small data set is used to pass commands to the Real-Time Analysis function. |
| hlq.SBRNEXEC | IBM Z Batch Resiliency online user interface execs. |
| hlq.SBRNLOAD | IBM Z Batch Resiliency load module library. |
| hlq.SBRNMLIB | IBM Z Batch Resiliency online user interface messages. |
| hlq.SBRNPLIB | IBM Z Batch Resiliency online user interface panels. |
| hlq.SBRNSLIB | IBM Z Batch Resiliency online user interface skeleton library. |
| hlq.SBRNTLIB | IBM Z Batch Resiliency online user interface table library. |
| hlq.SBRNSRCE | A PDS containing the SAS source code for the SAS IBM Z Batch Resiliency version. |
| hlq.SCANJCL | Data set generated by DC/OPTIMIZE 2000 process which contains concatenated data set information. |
| hlq.SCKKLOAD | IBM Z Batch Resiliency load module library for SMF extractor which should run as a started task. |
| hlq.SMFEXT.ssss.SMF$yy.Tjjjhhmm | SMF extract file created by the SMF Extractor. ssss refers to the System Name on which the data was created. yy refers to the year the file was created. jjj refers to the Julian Date the file was created. hhmm refers to the time the file was created (24 hrs). |
| hlq.SNAP.CRITDSNS | IBM Z Batch Resiliency InstaSnap critical data set information used to identify critical data sets to be backed up using FlashCopy before a job step starts. |
| hlq.SNAP.JOBNAMES | IBM Z Batch Resiliency InstaSnap eligible job names information used to identify jobs that are eligible for InstaSnap backup processing. |
| hlq.SNAP.INSTEXCP | IBM Z Batch Resiliency InstaSnap exception log information used to identify data set copies that generated non-zero return codes. |
| hlq.TAPEJCL | A PDS containing IBM Z Batch Resiliency-generated backup JCL (tape). This file is empty until TAPEJCL has executed. |
| hlq.TLN.DIV | TimeLiner Data-In-Virtual (DIV) data set containing job information. |
| hlq.USERMAC | IBM Z Batch Resiliency user code library. User exits and IBM Z Batch Resiliency customizations are stored here. |
