Running the ARMBARC JCL

This section describes special instructions or information required to run the ARMBARC JCL.

  • Ensure that you have the appropriate authorizations. See Authorizations-for-ARMBARC for required authorizations.
  • When you execute ARMBARC for the first time, you may not want to process all archive logs that are recorded in the bootstrap. To process only a recent subset of logs, use the LIMIT parameter (see Global-options).

  • On a data sharing subsystem, you must run ARMBARC on each member in order to copy the archive logs for each member. In addition to copying logs for each member, ARMBARC also records the image copy information for the special catalog and directory spaces in the history file for each member.
  • Use the ARMBLOG program to issue the DB2 ARCHIVE LOG command and wait for offload processing to complete before running ARMBARC. See ARMBLOG—Archive log creation for more information.
  • No restart is available for ARMBARC. You must resubmit the job after correcting any error conditions.
