Log only drop recovery

Some environments use methods other than BMC AMI Recover and image copies to perform the initial recovery of dropped objects, and then direct BMC AMI Recover to use only data from log records to complete the recovery.

If you specify Y in the Use LOGONLY option field of the Generate Automated Drop Recovery panel, BMC AMI Log Master assumes that you use your own methods (for example, backups outside of Db2) to perform the initial recovery. The product issues message BMC097667 as it generates the JCL for the automated drop recovery, stating LOG ONLY SPECIFIED.

BMC AMI Log Master cannot automate the drop recovery action because you must modify the JCL before executing the automated drop recovery. In the JCL generated by BMC AMI Log Master, insert a step to recover the dropped objects using the methods available in your environment. Insert the step as follows:

  • After the job step (named STOPCMNDS) that stops the table spaces to be recovered
  • Before the subsequent job step (named RECOVER)
