If you want to use one set of recovery parameters, enter Y in
the Use default parameters for selected spheres field.
The specified recovery parameters are applied to every selected VSAM sphere
during construction of the forward recovery job. If you do not specify Y in
this field, CICS® VR
prompts you to enter recovery parameters for each individual sphere that you
select.
If you specify default recovery parameters for every selected VSAM sphere,
all of the spheres must have similar backup types such as the following:
- Logical backup that is known to CICS VR
- Backup on the same DFSMShsm full volume dump
- Either no backup or a recovery job that does not include a step to restore
from a backup
- Each VSAM sphere must have the same time format on the logs, either local
time format or GMT format.
