If you enter the name of a data set on the Data Set Name field of the "CICS® VR VSAM sphere list include" secondary window, CICS VR opens the specified data set and reads each VSAM sphere name record.
For each record read, CICS VR tries to match it with an entry in the RCDS. A match indicates that the VSAM sphere is registered to CICS VR, and CICS VR creates a recovery job for the VSAM sphere.
If a VSAM sphere name record does not match an entry in the CICS VR RCDS, that VSAM sphere is not registered to CICS VR. CICS VR cannot create a recovery job for this VSAM sphere, and an error message is written to the data set allocated to the DWWMSG ddname.
See Registering a VSAM sphere in the RCDS for more information regarding the registration of VSAM spheres.
After all VSAM spheres listed in the data set are read by CICS VR and, if one or more of the VSAM spheres does not match an entry in the RCDS, the data set allocated to the DWWMSG ddname is opened for VIEW:
