How the Monitor Recovery function works

During initialization of a recovery job step, the Recovery utility tries to connect to the Cross Product Connectivity (CPC) server. If the server is not available or the Monitor Recovery function is not licensed for use, the recovery job step proceeds as normal and does not try to provide information to the Monitor Recovery function. The function cannot report information about this job step.

If the server is available and the Monitor Recovery function is licensed for use, the Recovery utility notifies the server that the recovery job step is in progress. When you select the Monitor Recovery function in the console, the console sends a request to the server to obtain recovery information for the selected RECON. The server returns a list of all recovery job steps that are executing or that have been updated within the time period that you specify.

The Recovery utility posts detailed information about the recovery job step in a location that the Monitor Recovery function can access independently on demand. Your console session automatically requests a periodic refresh of job step and activity information. You can request a manual refresh of failure and object information. You can adjust the automatic refresh rate for your session without affecting the refresh rate for other user sessions.

If you set the Recovery Failures Email Notification parameter to Yes, the Monitor Recovery function generates a notification message if a problem occurs during the recovery job.
