Forward recovery procedures

If a data set that is being used by CICS® fails, perhaps because of physical damage to a disk, you can recover the data by performing forward recovery of the data set.

About this task

Your forward recovery procedures can be based on your own program, or an ISV-supplied utility program, for processing the relevant CICS forward recovery log streams. Alternatively, you can use CICS VSAM Recovery for z/OS®. See CICS VSAM Recovery for z/OS for details of forward recovery using CICS VSAM Recovery.
