When you create a new elemental group name or select an existing elemental group (with action code S) on the Group Management panel, the Elemental Group Maintenance panel—page 1 is displayed.

Use this panel to display and change option values for the group.

In addition to information-only fields, the Elemental Group Maintenance panel—page 1 contains the specification fields in the following table. Type or verify values as appropriate. Then press Enter.

Field

Description

Description

(Optional) You can type a description for the group to help you identify it. The description can be 0 to 40 characters and can contain any characters except single quote marks, double quote marks, and commas; for example, blanks, slashes, and dashes are accepted. This description is displayed on reports and panels that list groups.

Profile

(Optional) Use this field to specify an assigned profile to use while performing functions on this group. Leave this field blank if you do not want to use an assigned profile. For more information about profiles, their usage, and their creation, see Manage-profiles-with-the-ISPF-interface.

Warning

Important

The profile must be defined before you can select it as an assigned profile.

To use an assigned profile, specify the fully qualified or generic profile name as follows:

  • To display a list of profiles, type a generic name containing asterisk (*) and question mark (?) masking characters as appropriate; you can display a list of all profiles that are defined to RMGR by typing an asterisk (*) by itself. When you press Enter, the Profile Selection panel is displayed. After you select a profile and press Enter.
  • To specify a profile without selecting it from a list, you can type the fully qualified profile name (containing no masking characters). When you press Enter.

The Elemental Group Maintenance--Page 2 panel is displayed.

Rebuild indexes

Type one of the following values to specify whether to use the BMC Index Rebuild function to rebuild indexes during execution of recovery requests. For more information, see Rebuild-indexes-and-HALDB-ILDSs.

  • 1
    Automatically rebuild indexes that are not included as objects in the group. Recover indexes that are included as objects in the group. (The primary database must be a member of the group.)
  • 2
    Automatically rebuild indexes that are included as objects in the group.
  • 3
    (Default) Do not rebuild indexes except for HALDB primary indexes. Recover indexes that are included as objects in the group.

If HALDB, rebuild

Type one of the following values to specify whether to rebuild HALDB secondary and primary indexes. If you have specified option 3 for the Rebuild indexes field, this option is ignored.

  • 1
    (Default) Rebuild HALDB secondary indexes, as well as HALDB primary indexes.

    Warning

    Important

    HALDB primary indexes are always rebuilt automatically if the primary partition is in the group. If you are using the IMS Recovery utility, HALDB secondary indexes are not rebuilt. If they are in the group, they are recovered.

  • 2
    Rebuild only HALDB primary indexes; do not rebuild secondary indexes.

Rebuild ILDS

Type one of the following values to specify whether to rebuild the HALDB ILDS.

  • 1 (Required)
    (Default) Automatically rebuild the ILDS.
  • 2 (Yes)
    If the ILDS is being rebuilt during the BMC Recovery function, rebuild it only if necessary. Otherwise, rebuild the ILDS.
  • 3 (No)
    Do not rebuild the ILDS.

HPC group partial

Type one of the following values to specify how to handle a partial Hold Point of Consistency (HPC) condition, in which all objects in the group cannot be closed during HPC processing. For more information about the HPC function, see Create-recovery-points

  • 1
    (Default) Yes, a partial HPC is acceptable if all objects in the group cannot be closed.
  • 2
    No, a partial HPC is not acceptable.

HPC command

Type one of the following values to specify the IMS command to use for obtaining an HPC.

  • 1
    (Default) Use the /DBR command to close the objects in the group.
  • 2
    Use the /DBD command to close the objects in the group.

HPC timeout

Type a value to specify the amount of time to allow for RMGR to process an HPC request. If all databases cannot be closed within this interval, HPC processing terminates. Specify the interval as mmss; mm is the number of minutes (00-59), and ss is the number of seconds (00-59). The value must be greater than 0000.
The default value is 0100.

 

Tip: For faster searching, add an asterisk to the end of your partial query. Example: cert*
