ARMBSET— OBJECTSET processing

ARMBSET uses stored information, pulls objects based on the specified OBJECTSET, and issues CHECK and REPAIR commands.

You can use ARMBSET to start, stop, quiesce, run statistics (RUNSTATS), or reset GRECP/LPL status.

The ARMBSET program is generated after a BMC AMI Recover step to issue a CHECK or REPAIR for each object (table space and index) in an OBJECTSET.

With the implementation of OBJECTSET for BMC AMI Recover, ARMBSET is needed for the following reasons:

  • The Check Pend Action option (Recovery-utility-options) does not generate a step for CHECK or REPAIR when OBJECTSET syntax is generated.
  • You cannot use classic CHECK or REPAIR JCL, which would represent a static set of objects, because it may not match the contents of the OBJECTSET, which is dynamic.

Important

  • With the ARMBSET program, if you choose a CHECK PEND ACTION of CHECK, in order for ARMBSET to generate the correct CHECK statements, you must run RUNSTATS for the table spaces in your object set. If you do not, BMC AMI Recovery Manager might not generate all of the CHECK statements that are needed.
  • If you have selected the BMC AMI Check for Db2 product as the check utility in the general recovery options of an object set, ARMBSET invokes BMC AMI Check to process CHECK DATA TABLESPACE for the supported objects in the object set.

Table spaces that have parents or hash tables will be selected to have CHECK DATA after they are recovered and when the object set option Check Pend Action is CHECK.

Warning

Do not run CHECK DATA on encrypted data. Because CHECK DATA does not decrypt the data, the utility might produce unpredictable results.
