After you enter search criteria or the name of a data set on the "CICS® VR VSAM sphere list" secondary window, the "CICS VR VSAM sphere list" panel is displayed. The spheres listed either match the search criteria that you entered or are listed in the data set that you specified, see the figure below.
Enter S next to each of the VSAM spheres for which you want to create a recovery job.
Requirement: When you use CICS VR to create a recovery job for one or more VSAM spheres, ensure that none of those VSAM spheres is available for updates by CICS or batch applications, if you are using the CICS VR batch logger. These data sets must remain unavailable until the CICS VR recovery job has been run successfully to ensure that the data sets do not become inconsistent.
Forward recovery is performed for each of the VSAM Spheres selected from the list. Each recovery task can have different settings, as described in Providing VSAM sphere recovery parameters.
You can use a set of default parameters for all the recovery tasks. Enter Y in the Use default parameters for selected spheres field to use default parameters for all the selected VSAM spheres. For further information, see Specifying default recovery parameters.
