This batch backout job step statistics report contains
information about each job step that was backed out by CICS® VR.
The following types of log records listed in the NUMBER OF RECORDS
field causes one of the matching actions to occur during batch backout
processing:
Type of log record |
Action performed against the VSAM data set |
UPD-BEFORE |
UPDATES, ADDS |
ADD-BEFORE |
DELETES |
For example, if CICS VR
finds an UPD-BEFORE log record during batch backout processing it
indicates that a VSAM sphere record was either updated or deleted
by a batch application, and causes CICS VR
batch backout to perform either an ADD or UPDATE to the actual VSAM sphere.
If CICS VR finds an ADD-BEFORE
log record during batch backout processing it indicates that a VSAM
sphere record was added by a batch application, and causes CICS VR to perform a DELETE of
the actual VSAM record.
