CICS® VR
Automated Recovery helps you to repair or reorganize a VSAM sphere after a
backout failure has occurred in CICS TS, while attempting to back out changes
to the sphere.
Automated recovery involves several events:
- CICS automatically
alerts CICS VR
that a backout failure has occurred. This alert is received through the NOTIFY
interface.
- The backout failure is automatically registered in the CICS VR RCDS.
- Optional: A job stream for forward recovery or reorganization of the affected
VSAM sphere is automatically built and submitted.
Note: A job to perform forward
recovery or reorganization can be also created and submitted manually using
the CICS VR
ISPF dialog.
- Within the same job stream, the affected data set is taken offline from CICS before
recovery or reorganization. After recovery or reorganization, the data set
is brought back online to CICS, and CICS instructed to retry its backout.
