Important

The JCL that you generate for disaster recovery processing can support hardware mirroring. The mirrored recovery JCL omits mirrored objects from the recovery because they are already available at the recovery site. You can also generate alternate JCL to recover all resources (whether mirrored or not) as a fallback strategy in the event mirroring fails. This alternate JCL is generated instead of the mirrored recovery JCL if any object cannot be verified as mirrored. For more information, see the BMC AMI Recovery Manager for Db2 documentation
