Creating volume-based object sets

BMC AMI Recovery Manager

 allows you to create a static object set of objects that reside on a specified volume.

Using the BMC AMI Recovery Manager user interface, you can generate volume object sets in either foreground or background mode, as follows:

  • Foreground Generation

    Searching the Db2 and operating system catalogs for the required objects in foreground mode is best used for creating volume object sets after a volume failure. This method keeps BMC AMI Recovery Manager busy until the object list is generated and displayed and, on many systems, may take several minutes to complete. However, the volumes do not have to be available to BMC AMI Recovery Manager when you use this method.

  • Background Generation

    Background generation automatically generates JCL that can be used to create volume object sets. The ARMBGRP program supports two different methods of obtaining information for creating a volume object set. You can create the object set by performing catalog searches or by using the volume’s VSAM volume data set (VVDS).

Catalog search method

The catalog search method uses the Db2 and operating system catalogs to locate the Db2 objects for the desired subsystem or data sharing object set. This method does not require the operating system volume to be online and so can be executed after a volume failure has occurred. This method is ideal for an adhoc recovery after an unexpected volume failure.

VVDS method

The VVDS method uses the VSAM 'table of contents' located on the volume and the Db2 catalog to identify objects belonging to the specified Db2 subsystem or data sharing object set. This method requires the volume to be online and available at the time the job executes.

Error
Warning

Recovering with an object set created by the VVDS method will not include objects created or moved to the volume after the object set was generated.
