CICS® VR data set list feature
Another way you can create groups of VSAM spheres for use with CICS® VR is with the CICS® VR data set list feature.
This feature allows you to enter the name of a data set that contains a list of VSAM spheres as input to CICS® VR. The data set can be either sequential or a member of a Partitioned Data Set (PDS). The CICS® VR dialog interface then guides you through the creation and submission of a recovery job for the VSAM spheres that were listed in the entered data set
The CICS® VR data set list feature allows a more flexible
way of grouping VSAM spheres because you can create and populate the data
set list using any method you want, for example; ISPF or JCL. Create either
a sequential data set or a member of a PDS for each group you want to define.
Then, simply add the name of each VSAM sphere you want to include in the
group as a separate record into the data set. Next, enter the name the data
set on the CICS® VR
VSAM sphere list include
secondary window. CICS® VR guides
you through the creation and submission of a recovery job for the VSAM spheres
in the group.
