Migrating to CICS® VR from another recovery product is the same as installing CICS VR and performing all required setup for the first time. CICS VR does not supply a utility that transfers recovery information stored by the previous recovery product into the CICS VR RCDS.
If DFSMShsm is used to create backups, the backups are automatically displayed through the CICS VR panel interface because CICS VR dynamically queries the DFSMShsm inventory. If DFSMSdss or another product is used to create logical backups, CICS VR can be notified about new backups created for your VSAM data sets. The backup information is stored in the RCDS.
Therefore, you can create recovery jobs for VSAM spheres after performing a log of logs scan without migrating recovery information stored from the previous recovery product.
