You can specify criteria that identifies a set of resource definition
changes, such as changes within a specified time period by a particular
user, and then either undo or redo those changes in a single step.
Here, "undo" means to recover the before images of a set of changes,
and "redo" means to recover the after images.
To recover the before or after images of a set of changes:
- Select primary menu option 4.3 Historical Reports: CICS® definitions.
- Specify the criteria of the changes that you want to undo or redo.
- Type REC next to each of the
changes that you want to select for recovery, and then press Enter.
Tip: To select all of the changes that match the criteria you
specified, enter REC * on the command
line, and then press Enter again.
Restriction: - All of the changes that you select must be for the same CICS configuration. You cannot
mix changes for multiple CICS configurations
in a single recovery action.
- You cannot recover changes
to CICSPlex® SM relationships,
such as Add and Remove (that is, changes to xxxINGRP resource definition types). However, you can recover changes
to the resource definition types List, ResGroup, and ResDesc.
- Specify whether you want to recover the before images of (undo)
or the after images of (redo) the selected changes.
Note: Recovering the after image of a deletion,
or the before image of a creation, deletes the current resource definition,
if it exists.
