Select a recovery point

• The last batch image copy (see Select-the-last-batch-image-copy)
• A standard recovery point (see Select-a-standard-recovery-point)
• The last Log Sync recovery point (see Select-the-last-log-sync-recovery-point)
• The last point-in-time (PIT) change accumulation (CA) (see Select-the-last-PIT-CA-timestamp)
• The DR PIT timestamp (see Select-the-DR-PIT-timestamp)
• Any user-selected point in time (see Select-a-user-selected-point-in-time)
• A Log Analysis recovery window (see Select-a-recovery-point-from-the-Log-Analysis-function)

For all recovery types that you can use for DR, except for recovery to the last batch image copy and recovery to a standard timestamp, you must use the BMC Recovery utility.

After you choose the type of recovery, you specify the recovery point with one of the following methods:

• Use the RECOVERTO keyword as explained in Create-recovery-JCL-with-the-Batch-Interface-utility.
• Use the Recovery Options panel as explained in Create-recovery-JCL-with-the-ISPF-interface.
• For some recovery points, you can use the Find Recovery Points function as explained in Find-standard-recovery-points-with-the-ISPF-interface.
• For some recovery points, you can use the Log Analysis function as explained in Select-a-recovery-point-from-the-Log-Analysis-function.
