The primary site sends the remote site SAM data sets that contain extracted recovery information from the primary site's RCDS regularly.
These SAM data sets must have been created by the RCDS utility. They contain recovery information required by the CICS® VR panel interface to create a recovery job for the VSAM spheres at the remote site. Start the RCDS utility with the IMPORT keyword specified to put the contents of the latest SAM data set into the remote site's RCDS.
Use the RCDS command with the IMPORT keyword specified to tell CICS VR to copy recovery information from the SAM data set that is specified on the DWWCOPY1 DD statement into the RCDS specified in the DWWCON1, DWWCON2, and DWWCON3 DD statements. Recovery information from the SAM data set is merged into the remote site's RCDS.
Below is a sample RCDS IMPORT job that updates the remote site's RCDS with the recovery information from the SAM data set. The SAM data set specified must be a data set that was produced by a previous RCDS EXPORT job.
