Task 5: Generating the disaster recovery simulation JCL

Use this procedure to generate the JCL to execute at the local site to simulate a disaster recovery at the remote site.

The subsystem disaster recovery JCL includes the following jobs:

  • ARMBWDC—collect recovery data (Recovery Management for Db2 solution only)
  • ARMBLOG and ARMBCRC—establish a recovery point
  • ARMBARC—copy the archive logs
  • ARMBSRR—generate system recovery simulation JCL
  • ARMBGEN—generate application recovery JCL
  • ARMBTS—record the recovery PIT (if a specific point in time was selected)
  • ARMBRDC—consolidate data and create reports (Recovery Management for Db2 solution only)

You can generate these jobs individually, or you can generate them as a single job stream.

To generate the disaster recovery simulation JCL

  1. On the Disaster Recovery panel, select Option 9, Generate ALL Disaster Recovery Jobs.
  2. When the JCL Specification panel appears, enter a fully qualified output data set name.Be aware of the following information:
    • The output data set is used for saving the JCL and must be cataloged. If not enclosed in quotes, the output data set will be prefixed by your TSO prefix.
    • The job statement must contain a symbolic variable (&#) for the job number.
    • If you selected Simulate Yes, BMC AMI Recovery Manager appends to the data set name if the final node does not end in SIM or .SIM. If you are using the BMC Recovery Management for Db2 solution and you selected Estimate Yes, BMC AMI Recovery Manager appends .EST to the data set name if the final node does not end in EST or .EST. You must have created these GDG bases previously.

  3. Submit the generated JCL.

    Warning

    Submitting this job generates simulation JCL for system recovery and application recovery. The simulation JCL issues an -ARCHIVE LOG command. If you do not want to archive the log at the time of job submission, edit the JCL and delete the ARMBLOG step.
