Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All IRP V1R1 users who use DRF to recover    *
  *                 using concurrent user image copies.          *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The DRF procedure to recover a DBDS or  *
  *                      area using a user image copy fails if   *
  *                      the user image copy is concurrent.      *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: INSTALL CORRECTIVE SERVICE FOR APAR/PTF      *
  ****************************************************************
  To do a DRF recovery with a user image copy, USEDBDS or USEARA
  must be specified. The user must restore the data set first
  with the user image copy. Then the user must let DBRC know
  that the data set has been restored by doing a NOTIFY.RECOV
  DBRC command. If the user image copy is concurrent, DBRC fails
  the NOTIFY.RECOV command because the DBDS/AREA is in use at the
  time of the recovery. Therefore, DRF is unable to do a recovery
  with concurrent user image copies.
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• To do a DRF recovery with a user image copy, the image copy must
  be restored first. Next a DBRC NOTIFY.RECOV must be used to
  update the RECON. USEDBDS/USEAREA must be specified on the DRF
  ADD command. Although no guarantee this procedure likely ensures
  that the data set has been restored prior to the recovery.
  .
  This procedure fails if a concurrent user image copy is used
  because DBRC doesn't allow a NOTIFY.RECOV command if the DBDS or
  area is in use. DRF has changed the procedure to allow a
  recovery with concurrent user image copies. The image copy must
  be restored first. Two new keywords are added to the DRF ADD
  command.
  .
  USEUICLAST tells DRF to recover based on the latest user image
  copy registered in the RECON.
  .
  USEUICTIME(timestamp) tells DRF to recover based on a user image
  copy registered in the RECON with the specified timestamp.
  .
  DRF does not restore the data set from the user image copy but
  applies log changes based on the type of user image copy and the
  time of the image copy.
  .
  USEUICLAST and USEUICTIME(timestamp) can always be used in place
  of USEDBDS/USEAREA.
  .
  The manual IMS Database Recovery Facility User's Guide and
  Reference has been updated to add these change. See the IMS Tech
  Doc at http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27018379
