Backing up and restoring CASPERM

The CASPERM registery can be backed up or restored at any time while the coordinating address space (CAS) is active.

Tip

For information about backing up and restoring a registry data set (such as the CASPERM) while the CAS is not active, see RTCS registry maintenance.

Backing up the CASPERM when the CAS is active

Use the following JCL to back up the CASPERM when the CAS is active:

//*                                                           
//* BACK UP CASPERM REGISTRY TO PS/FB/80 DATA SET   
//*                                                           
//RGBACK  EXEC PGM=OSZEXEC8,PARM=('P=OSZRGTBR',                
//             'RASRDID=BBM@CASPERM@<ssid>')                    
//SYSPRINT  DD SYSOUT=*,LRECL=126,DSORG=PS,RECFM=FB           
//BACKUP    DD DISP=(NEW,CATLG),UNIT=3390,SPACE=(CYL,(50,20),RLSE),
//             DSORG=PS,RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,                     
//             DSN=<backup.DSN> 

In the JCL:

  • <ssid> is the subsystem identifier used to connect to this CAS.
  • <backup.DSN> is the name of the backup data set and can be anything that meets your installation standards.

Restoring the CASPERM when the CAS is active

Use the following JCL to restore the CASPERM from a back up created with the JCL in Backing up the CASPERMwhen the CAS is active: 

//*                                                     
//* RESTORE CASPERM BACKUP TO THE SAME OR ANOTHER CASPERM
//*                                                     
//RGREST  EXEC PGM=OSZEXEC8,PARM=('P=OSZRGTBR',         
//             'RASRDID=BBM@CASPERM@<ssid>')              
//SYSPRINT  DD SYSOUT=*,LRECL=126,DSORG=PS,RECFM=FB     
//RESTORE   DD DISP=SHR,DSN=<backup.DSN>  

In the JCL:

  • <ssid> is the subsystem identifier used to connect to this CAS.
  • <backup.DSN> is the name of the backup data set.

Restoring the CASPERM when the CAS is not active

Use the following JCL to restore the CASPERM when the CAS is not active: 

//*                                                     
//* RESTORE CASPERM BACKUP TO THE SAME OR ANOTHER CASPERM
//*                                                     
//RGREST  EXEC PGM=OSZEXEC8,PARM=('P=OSZRGTBR',         
//             'DSNAME=<casperm.dsn>')           
//SYSPRINT  DD SYSOUT=*,LRECL=126,DSORG=PS,RECFM=FB     
//RESTORE   DD DISP=SHR,DSN=<backup.DSN>  

In the JCL:

  • <casperm.dsn> is the name of the CASPERM data set.
  • <backup.DSN> is the name of the backup data set.
