Use the CICS® VR backup deregister verification secondary window to perform one of the following actions:

  • Type 1 in the input field and press Enter if you want to only deregister information about the listed backup from the CICS® VR RCDS.
  • Type 2 in the input field and press Enter if you want to deregister information about the listed backup from the CICS® VR RCDS and uncatalog and delete the backup.

Even when the backup is on tape, CICS® VR attempts to deregister, uncatalog, and delete the backup. ABARS backups can be only deregistered from the RCDS, but not uncataloged and deleted.
