ANALYZE for IMPORT

The ANALYZE option prints an BMC AMI Recover 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
  • Name 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

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, thereby limiting abends that are caused by inadequate data set allocations. You can use these statistics with historical information about the times required to perform the various operations to estimate recovery time.

Warning

Important

If you coded ANALYZE with the OPTIONS command, you must code the same value here. If you code multiple BMC AMI Recover command statements you must use the same value for the ANALYZE option in all of the command statements. If you specify a value for ANALYZE on one command statement and take the default on the others, the value that you specified on the single command statement becomes the default for the others.

Option

Description

ANALYZE YES

(Default) BMC AMI Recoverprovides the information listed in the preceding section.

ANALYZE NO

BMC AMI Recover does not provide any 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 the run. You cannot restart an BMC AMI Recover job that specifies ANALYZE ONLY, but you can start a new job.

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

If you provide an SYSPICK DD statement, BMC AMI Recover generates a list of all of the input tape and cartridge volumes that are allocated. 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 execution will be initiated. You must code OPTIONS EARLYRECALL explicitly to initiate the recalls because OPTIONS NOEARLYRECALL is the default for ANALYZE ONLY executions.
