ARMBTSI—Time stamp insertion

This section explains how to use the ARMBTSI program to insert a user-specified time stamp into the 

BMC AMI Recovery Manager

 CRRDRPT table. The time stamp can help facilitate a coordinated point-in-time recovery at a local site.

The timestamp insertion program, ARMBTSI, inserts a row containing a user-specified timestamp into the BMC AMI Recovery Manager CRRDRPT table.

For data sharing systems, the program inserts a row for each member of the data sharing object set. After the rows are inserted, you can run the ARMBCRC program to perform log analysis and generate a relative byte address (RBA) or log range sequence number (LRSN) associated with the inserted timestamp. You can use this RBA or LRSN to generate a coordinated point-in-time recovery at a local site using a Db2 conditional restart.

Important

  • We strongly recommend using the ARMBTSI program to insert timestamps into the CRRDRPT table rather than using previously published procedures that utilize separate SQL INSERT statements.
  • The timestamp recorded in the CRRDRPT table must be equal to or less than the current time. If you enter a timestamp greater than the current time (that is, a time in the future), ARMBCRC bypasses the entry and issues an informational message.
