ARMBSDR—Extend recovery point at disaster recovery site


ARMBSRR generates the JCL for the ARMBSDR program if you specify the ARMBSRR option DREXTEND YES to extend the recovery point at the disaster site. ARMBSDR finds the most recent BSDS and archive logs at the disaster recovery site (for each member of data sharing) and updates the BSDS. ARMBSDR also adds a new conditional restart control record to the BSDS.

If you specify DREXTEND YES, ARMBSRR generates a single step for ARMBSDR in the Phase 1 JCL if all of the following conditions exist:

  • Simulate is No.
  • JCL Type is DR.
  • MAXLOGJOBS is 1.
  • Initialize Actives is not used.
  • Mirroring is not used.

For data sharing mode only, ARMBSRR generates JCL for the ARMBCOR program at the beginning of all Phase 1 jobs except the Phase 1 job that contains ARMBSDR. ARMBCOR manipulates the value of the ARMBSDR member in the CNTL data set that drives a process to coordinate all Phase 1 jobs so that ARMBSDR processes all members. (The ARMBSDR member in the CNTL data set is for internal use only.) If ARMBSDR fails, correct the problem and resubmit that Phase 1 job. The rest of the Phase 1 jobs wait for ARMBSDR to complete successfully.

Important

  • You should not modify the JCL or syntax generated for ARMBCOR and ARMBSDR.
  • The archive prefix is determined by scanning the LASTARC and DUAL data set names. The format of the data set names is determined by the ARCTSTMP and TSTAMP options in ARM$OPTS. Those options must be correct or the process of finding additional logs will fail.
