Recovering historical versions of multiple resource definitions

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:

  1. Select primary menu option 4.3 Historical Reports: CICS® definitions.
  2. Specify the criteria of the changes that you want to undo or redo.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
