Task

Reference

Prepare to Use the Recovery Management Solution

(Typically you perform these preparatory tasks only once or sporadically.)

 

Install and customize the Recovery Management solution.

 

Set subsystem-level default options using the BMC AMI Recovery Manager online interface.

Create Oject Sets

 

Create balanced object sets of all objects in the subsystem. Use these object sets for disaster recovery or full subsystem recovery.

 

Create application object sets. Use these object sets for local application recovery or for prioritized disaster recovery.

 

Set object sets-level options if necessary.

 

Create application object sets for migration of related data.

Back Up Data for Local Recovery

 

Revalidate the subsystem or application object sets.

 

Generate JCL to back up resources that will be required for a local application recovery.

 

Create migration files in preparation for moving data for testing, development or data mining.

Perform Local Recoveries

 

Revalidate the application object sets, specify a recovery point, and generate recovery JCL.

 

Specify the backout-to-forward recovery method.

 

Specify the automatic index-recovery-to-rebuild method.

 

Specify inflight resolution recovery to a timestamp or logpoint.

 

Perform drop recoveries.

 

Recover to snapshot copies.

 

Recover to a log mark.

 

Perform a volume recovery.

Prepare for Disaster Recovery

 

Make copies of the subsystem or application object sets that you created previously.

 

Create copies of the BMC AMI Recovery Manager tables and repositories.

 

Create copies of the Db2 catalog and directory.

 

Establish a recovery point, make copies of the archive logs, and generate JCL for system resource recovery.

 

If time has passed since the application copies were made, revalidate the object sets for recoverability.

 

Generate the JCL to recover all application data.

 

Migrate data to test, development or warehouse subsystems using migration files.

Test Recovery Strategies

 

Perform disaster recovery simulation and estimation.

 

Perform local recovery simulation.

 

Evaluate data collected during actual, simulated, and estimated disaster recovery.

Miscellaneous Tasks

(Typically, you perform these tasks on an as-needed basis.)
