Examples of BMC AMI Recover operations
The recovery scenarios show the different BMC AMI Recover execution phases. BMC AMI Recover analyzes all requests in the SYSIN data set and then constructs a plan that consists of the execution phases needed to accomplish the work requested. The following table describes the major execution phases.
Phase | Description |
|---|---|
LOG INPUT | The LOG INPUT phase reads the Db2 log records required for recovery and sends them to a sort task. If you specified MAXLOGS > 1, BMC AMI Recover starts multiple subtasks to handle log file allocation. The main task processes log records. The subtasks handle allocation. |
MERGE | The MERGE phase reads sorted log records and applies them to page images, from an image copy or, in the case of BACKOUT and LOGONLY, from the space itself. This phase recovers table spaces or indexes from logs, extracts keys and sends them to a sort, reads the space for BACKOUT or LOGONLY recovery, writes output image copy data sets, writes output change accumulation files, and performs many other tasks. Multiple MERGE phases can run in parallel (using the MAXLSORT option). |
UNLOAD | The UNLOAD phase extracts the index keys from a table space or partition that is not being recovered (and has no MERGE phase) and sends those keys to a sort task. A MERGE phase and an UNLOAD phase should not occur for the same table space or table space partition. |
BUILD | The BUILD phase constructs indexes by using sorted keys extracted in a MERGE or UNLOAD phase. |
SNAP | The SNAP phase uses XBM or SUF to perform a data set snap to restore an Instant Snapshot copy. |

Why does the BMC site send me round in circles and why can I not down load the PDFs
Hi, Stephen. Thanks for contacting us! We are sorry that you are having trouble locating the information that you need.
Regarding PDFs, you can generate a custom PDF of any page or section in the space by using the Tools menu. For instructions, see PDFs and videos, which is also accessible from an expandable ribbon near the bottom of the space's home page. You can also download ready-made PDFs of the entire space from PDFs and videos.
As for finding the content that you need, this short video provides search tips. Also, within a space, you can use the expandable navigation tree on the left and the search box above the navigation tree to look for topics.
If you need more assistance, please contact BMC Support by clicking here. You can use the Select Another Country box to find contact information for your location.
