Point-in-time recovery

Point-in-time recovery is a unique feature of the Recovery utility that allows you to recover a database to any user-specified time.

You can recover to a point in time when a database was allocated for updates. When you execute a point-in-time recovery, the database is recovered to a logically complete state that is as close as possible to, equal to or less than, the requested point in time. DBRC is required for point-in-time recoveries.

Use the PIT keyword to activate the point-in-time recovery option. See PIT-keyword for more information.

The BMC Recovery Manager (RMGR), which is available with the BMC AMI Backup and Recovery for IMS product and the RECOVERY MANAGER for IMS product, can be helpful for point-in-time recoveries:

  • You can use the RMGR Find Recovery Points function to scan the archived logs and look for a point in time when no updates were occurring and determine common windows of inactivity for all databases in a group.
  • You can use the RMGR Log Analysis function to analyze the impact of the recovery time selection by displaying information about the update transaction activity in process during the specified point in time.
