ANALYZE

The ANALYZE option prints a recovery plan before executing that plan.

The following information about objects is included in the plan:

  • Names of any image copy data sets on which activities are or will be based
  • Names of any log data sets on which activities are or will be based
  • Names of any change accumulation files on which activities are or will be based
  • Log ranges, if any, on which activities are or will be based
  • Number of log pages to be read
  • Record sizes for index sort work data sets
  • Phases to occur during execution
  • Steps to occur within each phase

You can use this information to allocate space more accurately for log sort work data sets, index sort work data sets, and index key work data sets, and limit abends that are caused by inadequate data set allocations. You can also use these statistics with historical information about the times that are required to perform the various operations to estimate recovery time.

Important

The value that is specified for ANALYZE is effective for all RECOVER and REBUILD commands that follow. You can code the ANALYZE option on individual commands, but the value that you code must match the value that is coded on the OPTIONS command. The LOGSCAN command ignores the ANALYZE option.

Value

Description

ANALYZE YES

(Default) ANALYZE YES provides information about the objects in the recovery plan.

ANALYZE NO

If you specify ANALYZE NO, BMC AMI Recover does not provide any recovery plan information, but does provide object summaries.

ANALYZE ONLY

If you specify ANALYZE ONLY, BMC AMI Recover provides the same information as it provides with ANALYZE YES and then stops the job when the ANALYZE phase is complete. You can use the data from the ANALYZE phase to determine the resources required and what will happen during your BMC AMI Recover run. You cannot restart a BMC AMI Recover job that specifies ANALYZE ONLY, but you can start a new recovery job.

Use the ANALYZE ONLY option to determine which phases will occur with a specific recovery request, or which copy data sets and log data sets will be used in the recovery.

If you provide a SYSPICK DD statement, BMC AMI Recover generates a list of all of the input tape and cartridge volumes that are allocated during recovery. For more information about SYSPICK, see BMC-AMI-Recover-data-sets-and-BMC-AMI-Recover-DD-statements.

If you specify OPTIONS EARLYRECALL with ANALYZE ONLY, the recall of the data sets needed for the recovery will be initiated. You must code OPTIONS EARLYRECALL explicitly to initiate the recalls because OPTIONS NOEARLYRECALL is the default for ANALYZE ONLY executions.

Use ANALYZE ONLY on the OPTIONS command for the recovery estimation feature available in the BMC Recovery Management for Db2 solution. The estimation information generated when you use this option in Recovery Management is stored in Db2 recovery history tables. For more information, see the Recovery Management for Db2 documentation.
