Generating recovery JCL in batch

BMC AMI Recovery Manager

 enables you to use the ARMBGEN batch program to generate recovery JCL for one or more object sets.

Using the ARMBGEN program provides:

  • Support for coordinated recoveries
  • Better automation for point-in-time recovery after an application failure
  • Increased automation for disaster-recovery planning
  • Reduced demands on TSO sessions by performing recovery analysis offline

When you use ARMBGEN, you can specify the recovery point for one or more object sets. The type of recovery points available are as follows:

  • Recovery to the current time
  • Recovery to a specified image copy
  • Recovery to a specified quiesce point
  • Recovery to a specified common point
  • Recovery to a specified RBA or LRSN (with or without inflight resolution)
  • Recovery to a restart RBA
  • Recovery to a timestamp with inflight resolution (Recovery Management for Db2 solution only)
  • Recovery to a log mark (Recovery Management for Db2 solution only)

If you recover to a previous point in time, ARMBGEN can optionally check for related objects that are not in the object set. (If the object set is defined via SAP, the check is unnecessary and so is not performed. Also, if INDEX ALL is specified in the utility options, ARMBGEN does not check for related indexes in the object set because their inclusion is implied.)

You can also specify whether you are creating the recovery JCL to run at the local site (local recovery) or at a recovery site (disaster recovery) and whether you want to simulate the recovery (requires the Recovery Management for Db2 solution password).

Important

By default, ARMBGEN does not perform the check for UNCHANGED status. The XUNCHANGED option can be used to perform this check when used with SITETYPE LOCAL and a recovery point other than TO CURRENT. For more information on UNCHANGED status, see Object-status-after-recovery-point-selection. For more information about ARMBGEN, see ARMBGEN—Backup and recovery JCL.

All object sets that are specified in the same recovery must have the same type of recovery point.
