RECOVERYDDN specification

RECOVERYDDN overrides the default ddnames or ddname prefixes that are used by BMC AMI Recover.

The syntax diagram for the RECOVERYDDN specification is in RECOVER-TABLESPACE-RECOVER-INDEX-and-RECOVER-INDEXSPACE-syntax.

RECOVERYDDN (DDName3,DDName4)

You can use RECOVERYDDN (DDName3,DDName4) to override the default ddnames or ddname prefixes that are used by BMC AMI Recover for a table space or index to specify copy data set ddnames in the JCL. RECOVERYDDN can also reference an output descriptor named with an OUTPUT command statement if the copy data set is to be dynamically allocated.

The following restrictions apply only if RECOVERYDDN refers to a DD statement in the JCL:

  • When a table space or index has fewer than 100 partitions, you can specify any value of up to 6 characters. If copies are being made by partition, this value is a prefix. If DSNUM ALL and OPTION OUTCOPY ASCODED are specified, this value is a ddname.
  • For a table space or index with 100 or more partitions, the default values for all partitions are BMCRY and BMCRZ, and you can specify any value of no more than 5 characters.
  • For a nonpartitioned table space or index, if DSNUM ALL is specified or the highest value of DSNUM in the run is less than 100, you can specify any value up to six characters. If the highest value of DSNUM is 100 or higher, you can specify any value of up to five characters.

The ddnames specified with RECOVERYDDN are optionally enclosed in parentheses but must be separated by a comma. For more information, see Copy-data-set-ddname-construction-for-JCL-allocated-data-sets.

RECOVERYDSN (dataSetName3, dataSetName4)

You can use RECOVERYDSN (dataSetName3, dataSetName4) to override the data set name specified by an output descriptor for RECOVERYDDN for a dynamically allocated output image copy. Use of RECOVERYDSN when the output image copy is not dynamically allocated is an error.
