ARMBGIM—Impact analysis

The ARMBGIM program is used to perform plan and package impact analysis to determine what plans or packages (and therefore what applications) are potentially unavailable during a planned backup and recovery.

BMC AMI Recovery Manager determines the impact information by analyzing the SYSIBM.SYSPLANDEP and SYSIBM.SYSPACKDEP tables for plans and packages respectively.

You can generate printed plan and package impact analysis reports using the ARMBGIM program in the following ways:

  • You can code JCL to run ARMBGIM to create an impact analysis report. This completely avoids using a TSO session.
  • You can use online support provided by BMC AMI Recovery Manager to automatically create ARMBGIM JCL. This approach requires only a short TSO session. For more information, see Using-plan-and-package-impact-analysis-and-reporting.
