Use the
"CICS VR
Backup Type Selection" secondary window to select from the following types
of backups to restore:
- None
- Specifies that a backup does not exist for the selected
VSAM sphere or you do not want CICS VR to create a recovery job to restore
the VSAM sphere from a backup.
- Logical
- Specifies that you want CICS VR to restore the VSAM sphere from a logical backup
that is known to CICS VR. CICS VR restores the logical backup that
is selected from the CICS VR backup prompt list.
- Full volume dump
- Specifies that you want CICS VR to restore the VSAM sphere from a DFSMShsm full
volume dump. Enter the date the full volume dump was created in the Backup
time input field of the "CICS VR VSAM sphere parameters" secondary
window.
- No tie-ups
- Specifies that you want CICS VR to restore the VSAM sphere from a backup taken
by hardware, where there is no tie-up record on the log with a time stamp
for the start of the backup. Selecting this backup type adds the NOTIEUPS
keyword to the generated recovery job.
Specify the desired backup type, and press Enter.
