- ALLOCATE: Allocate a log
Use the ALLOCATE command to identify the CICS® log or log stream copy that you want CICS® VR to read.
- BATCHBACK: Remove updates to VSAM spheres
Use the BATCHBACK command to remove updates that were made to VSAM spheres by one or more steps in a batch job.
- BLDVRP: Build the VSAM resource pool
Use the BLDVRP command to request CICS® VR to issue the build VSAM resource pool (BLDVRP) VSAM macro for a forward-recovery run.
- CA: Process all the log records
Use the CA command to define an existing change accumulation group and create or update the change accumulation data set for that group. Use an automated timer process, such as OPC, to regularly submit your change accumulation job.
- CHECK: Prevent duplicate recovery runs
Use the CHECK command to prevent a recovery job from running twice in a row.
- DEFEXIT: Define CICS VR exit names for batch backout
- DEFEXIT: Define CICS VR exit names for the log stream copy utility
Use the DEFEXIT command to request CICS® VR archive or the log stream copy utility to call one or both of the exits.
- DEFEXIT: Define CICS VR exit names for forward recovery
Use the DEFEXIT command to request CICS® VR to call one or more of the exits.
- EXCLUDE: Exclude specific log records
Use the EXCLUDE command to eliminate specific log records, after images, from the forward recovery processing, logstreamcopy processing or journal print processing.
- INCLUDE: Only use specific log records
Use the INCLUDE command to selectively include specific log records, after images, in the forward recovery processing, logstreamcopy processing or journal print processing.
- INVENTORY: Start automatic deregistration
Use the INVENTORY command to start CICS® VR automatic deregistration function.
- LOGOFLOGS: Process a log of logs
Use the LOGOFLOGS command to scan a CICS® TS log of logs, register the VSAM spheres in the RCDS, and store other essential recovery information in the RCDS.
- LOGOFLOGS REPORTONLY: produce a report of log of logs information
Use the LOGOFLOGS REPORTONLY command to produce a report of the contents of the log of logs. The LOGOFLOGS REPORTONLY command does not update the RCDS with recovery information or run automatic deregistration.
- LOGSTREAMCOPY: Copy an MVS log stream
Use the LOGSTREAMCOPY command to copy an MVS™ log stream to a sequential access method (SAM) data set. Information about the copy is stored in the RCDS.
- MIGRATE RCDS: Specify migration option
The MIGRATE RCDS command specifies whether you want the CICS® VR Server AS defaults to be migrated from the RCDS of a previous CICS® VR release.
- MVSLOG: Specify an MVS Log Stream
Use the MVSLOG command to specify the name of an MVS™ log stream to CICS® VR.
- NOTIFY: Notify CICS VR when a VSAM sphere backup is created
This command notifies CICS® VR when a backup for a VSAM sphere is created by an IBM® or non-IBM product.
- PRINT: print information about records logged on an MVS log
Use the PRINT command to print the contents of MVS™ logs, and to find information about records logged on them.
- RCDS: Create a RCDS copy
Use the RCDS command to create a copy of the RCDS that can be sent (exported) to a remote site and used to update (import) the RCDS at the remote site, to keep the remote site RCDS in synchronization with the RCDS at the primary site.
- RCDS: Create a RCDS report
Use the RCDS REPORT keyword to create a detailed report containing the information requested by options of the command.
- RCDS: Reset RCDS error flags
During various CICS® VR processing, the Recovery Control Data Sets (RCDSs) are checked for various error conditions to help ensure integrity of the data within the RCDSs. If an error condition is found, CICS® VR reports the error and sets an error flag in the RCDS that marks it as unusable. CICS® VR processing can no longer access an RCDS that has an error flag set on.
- RECOVER: Forward recover a VSAM sphere
Use the RECOVER command to tell CICS® VR to forward recover a VSAM sphere.
- RESETBWO: Reset BWO bits to zero
Use the RESETBWO command to reset BWO bits to zero in the ICF catalog for selected VSAM spheres.
- SPHERE: Define spheres
Use the SPHERE command to define which spheres are in the CA group.
- TEST: Run without updates to VSAM spheres
Use the TEST command to run a forward recovery or backout job, without doing any updates to the VSAM spheres or the RCDS. The TEST command produces a report.
- VSAMSTART: Start passing AMS commands to VSAM
Use the VSAMSTART command to tell CICS® VR to start passing AMS commands to VSAM after a VSAM sphere has been recovered.
- VSAMEND: Stop passing AMS commands to VSAM
Use the VSAMEND command to tell CICS® VR to stop passing AMS commands to VSAM.
