Recovery to dddd will be performed
even though the backup-while-open flags
in the ICF catalog have a setting of vvv.
Explanation
CICS® VR has interrogated the
backup-while-open (BWO)
flags in the ICF catalog for
data set
dddd, and has determined that the value of
vvv should
not prevent recovery from continuing. These details and descriptions of acceptable
BWO flag settings assume that you are recovering to the backup of the
data set, and not to the
native
data set as
left by CICS:
100, 110 |
The data set is
back level. It is restored from a DFSMSdss physical dump, made when the data set is eligible for
BWO, either when it is open in CICS, or after CICS had shut down in an uncontrolled manner
when the data set is
still open. |
011 |
This BWO flag setting will only produce the warning
message if you are running CICS VR forward recovery. The data set is
back level, and is restored from a DFSMSdss physical dump, made after the
this series of events: - The data set is
eligible for BWO processing.
- A control-interval or control-area split occurred and completed.
- CICS closed the file.
|
For recovery, the
data set is
considered to be restored from a non-BWO backup.
Note: CICS VR cannot detect whether updates are in progress,
and if splits occurred during a DFSMSdss physical dump. Only the DFSMSdss logical
dump function is sensitive to the BWO flag settings and thus automatically
preserves data integrity.
System action
CICS VR continues with the recovery run.
User response
- Batch–Although recovery is performed, investigate why the BWO
flags had these settings, before allowing the data set to be returned to CICS.
- Online–Although recovery is performed, investigate why the BWO
flags had these settings, before allowing the data set to be returned to CICS.
