When autojournaling has been enabled for VSAM spheres, CICS® VR must
be informed of the autojournaling activity, if you want to use the CICS VR panel
interface to build a job that recovers VSAM spheres from log records produced
by CICS TS
autojournaling.
You can use the existing CICS VR log of logs utilities to store information about
autojournaling activity in the RCDS. To do this:
- Use the CICS VR
LOGOFLOGS REGISTER utility to register to CICS VR the MVS™ log streams that contain the log records
produced by CICS TS
autojournaling.
- Start the CICS VR
panel interface and select option 3, List of registered log of
logs (CICS TS), from the "CICS VR main menu".
- From the "CICS VR
log of logs list" panel, select option 1, Register,
from the Administrate menu. The "CICS VR log of
logs register" secondary window is displayed (see Registering your log of logs data sets).
- In the Log of logs input field, type
the name of a log stream that contains log records produced by CICS TS autojournaling
, and press Enter.
For more information about the CICS VR LOGOFLOGS REGISTER utility, see Registering your log of logs data sets. Note: You also can call the CICS VR
LOGOFLOGS REGISTER utility from a batch job. See the LOGOFLOGS REGISTER
command description (
LOGOFLOGS: Process a log of logs) for more information.
- Scan the registered logs with the CICS VR LOGOFLOGS SCAN utility. A log of
logs scan batch job (see Setting up the scan utility to run as a batch job)
must be created and then submitted at regular intervals. CICS VR reads
data from all logs that were registered using the CICS VR LOGOFLOGS REGISTER utility, and
stores recovery information found on the logs in the RCDS. See Setting up the log of logs scan utility (scan) for
more information about the LOGOFLOGS SCAN utility.
