Back-up data sets for MSDBCPx

BMC Software recommends that you use back-up data sets for the MSDB checkpoint data sets. These back-up data sets should be DASD resident and can be GDG members. RCF automatically sets a return-code to drive steps to back-up the MSDBCPx data sets.

RCF processing can use these data sets as a source of MSDB data when an MSDB Checkpoint data set must be reallocated and restored. Using back-up data sets avoids operator intervention and the potential requirement for manual restoration of MSDBCPx data sets.

For more information about these data sets, see TSSRCF2 JCL requirements and Sample IMS control region procedure.

BMC also recommends that you use the optional xxxxDUMP DD statement.
