When you use the CICS® VR ISPF dialog interface to create a recovery job, by default CICS VR automatically scans all log of logs that are registered to CICS VR.
CICS VR scans all log of logs to make sure the RCDS contains all of the latest update activity prior to creating the recovery job. However, in some cases you might know that only specific log of logs contain the necessary update activity information for the VSAM spheres you want to recover.
