What is CICS VR automated recovery for CICS TS?

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:
  1. CICS automatically alerts CICS VR that a backout failure has occurred. This alert is received through the NOTIFY interface.
  2. The backout failure is automatically registered in the CICS VR RCDS.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
