Phase 2 jobs—Recovery JCL generation
During Phase 2, ARMBSRR generates jobs as follows:
Multiple jobs for data sharing
For data sharing environments, ARMBSRR generates one job per member to perform recovery for the members.
Multiple jobs, for Db2 9 and earlier, when you specify a MAXCATJOBS value greater than one
If more than one job is generated, synchronization steps are embedded within each job at the necessary points.
One job with multiple tasks, for Db2 Version 10 and later, when you specify a value for MAXCATJOBS greater than one
BMC AMI Recovery Manager uses the value of MAXCATJOBS for PARALLEL and TAPEUNITS to perform multiple tasks in one job.
If you are using the Recovery Management for Db2 solution, data collection is performed throughout Phase 2.
Db2 Version 10 and later
Because Db2 Version 10 does not allow multiple simultaneous catalog recoveries, ARMBSRR does not generate multiple catalog recovery jobs even if MAXCATJOBS is greater than 1 when you are running under Db2 Version 10 or later. Instead, ARMBSRR generates a single catalog recovery job using the value that you specify for MAXCATJOBS in the PARALLEL and TAPEUNITS syntax. The result enables multitasking by DSNUTILB recovery instead of multiple jobs.
