Generating a disaster recovery estimation job using BMC AMI Recovery Manager

Use the following procedure to set options for and run a disaster recovery estimation job.

Before you begin

Perform the following steps before you run an estimation job:

  1. Build or revalidate your subsystem object sets.
    If you have not yet built subsystem object sets, perform the steps in Task-1-first-time-only-Building-subsystem-object-sets.
  2. Establish a recovery point.
    See Task-2-Establishing-a-recovery-point.
  3. Establish the archive log copy options.
    See Task-3-Setting-archive-log-copy-options.

To generate a recovery estimation job

  1. From the main menu, select Option 7, Subsystem recovery.
  2. From the Subsystem General Recovery Options panel, select Option 5, Disaster recovery.
    The Disaster Recovery panel is displayed.
  3. Select Option 5, Estimate DR Recovery.
    The Mirror Strategy panel is displayed.

  4. Specify your mirroring strategy as required. (See Task-5-Setting-options-to-generate-simulation-JCL.)

    Important

    The mirroring strategy that you specify here remains in effect only for the current estimation job.

  5. Specify the recovery options for the estimation run on the next series of panels. The panels are identical to those used for simulation. See Task-5-Setting-options-to-generate-simulation-JCL for more information.

    Important

    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 the GDG base previously.

  6. To generate the job now, select Option 8, Prepare to Recover the DB2 Subsystem (ARMBSRR) and then press Enter.
  7. On the JCL Specification panel, enter information and press Enter to display the recovery JCL.
  8. Save the JCL data set, or submit the job.
