MVS, processor, or power failures

If an MVS, processor, or power failure occurs, DBRC is unable to mark the subsystem (SSYS) records in the RECON as having terminated abnormally. This means that you cannot use automatic restart. Instead, you must use the /ERESTART command with the OVERRIDE keyword to override the RECON subsystem record. Alternatively, use the DBRC command CHANGE.SUBSYS to mark the subsystem record as abnormally terminated. You will need to do this if you want to run any utilities (such as database recovery or log utilities). This is because these utilities will fail if the subsystem record is still marked as active. For information on doing this, see Database utilities in IMS product documentation. Backout of in-flight updates should then occur. You can then restart CICS® with an AUTO (emergency) restart. When CICS has reconnected to DBCTL, CICS decides whether any indoubt UOWs exist, and resolves them in the same way as for other failures.
