Generating a backup job interactively

BMC AMI Recovery Manager allows you to generate a backup job interactively for the current object set.

You can submit the JCL for execution or save it for later scheduling.

Before you begin

To perform this procedure, you need the following authorizations (if you are not the creator of the object set):

  • EXECUTE authority for the BMC AMI Recovery Manager Db2 plan
  • TYPE A authority if you intend to save changes to the object set
  • TYPE O authority if you do not intend to save changes to the object set
  • Authority to update the output data set for the JCL

To generate a backup job

You start this procedure at the Object List panel that appears after you have created or retrieved an object set.

  1. Select 4. Gen Backup JCL foreground to generate JCL for all objects that have an acceptable status.

    Important

    Objects that do not have an acceptable status are not included in the backup JCL. For more information, see BMC-AMI-Recovery-Manager-object-exception-status.

  2. When the JCL Specification panel appears, enter a fully qualified output data set name. Beware of the following information:
    • The output data set is used for saving the JCL and must be cataloged. If you do not enclose the output data set name in quotation marks, it is prefixed by your TSO prefix.
    • The job statement must contain a symbolic variable (&#) for the job number. For more information, see Output-data-sets-job-cards-and-symbolic-variables.
  3. Save the JCL data set or submit the job, as required.
