If you have periodically created change accumulation data sets using CA batch jobs with the ONLY keyword specified, you can use them to forward recover VSAM spheres at a remote recovery site, without having to send a copy of the primary site's RCDS to the remote recovery site.
To forward recover VSAM spheres from these change accumulation data sets, create a standard CICS® VR forward recovery job and add the MVSLOG command with the CA keyword specified.
The example below is of a CICS VR recovery job that forward recovers a VSAM sphere from three change accumulation data sets. See the sections following this example job for a further description of the recovery options.
