Entering recovery parameters

Before the recovery job is created, you have the option to change the CICS® VR parameters that are used in the recovery job creation. You can define the following CICS VR parameters for your forward recovery job.

Use the "CICS VR forward recovery" secondary window to select the CICS VR parameters that you want to change. Using a secondary window for each parameter selected, you can change the values. The parameter secondary windows open in the order displayed in the "CICS VR forward recovery" secondary window:

End of change

After you change the parameters that CICS VR uses in the recovery job, the "CICS VR recovery" secondary window is displayed again.

To create the recovery job, press Enter without any of the parameters selected. CICS VR uses any previously changed parameters in the job construction.

You do not have to change any of the CICS VR parameters listed in the "CICS VR forward recovery" secondary window. CICS VR uses the default values when creating the recovery job if you do not change any parameters.

For detailed help information about any of these choices, move the cursor to the field and press F1.
