From this pull-down menu, you can deregister the selected sphere or modify the CICS® VR automation level.

Deregister

Deregistration removes the information about the selected sphere from RCDS. For further information on deregistration, see Deregistering a VSAM sphere from the RCDS. To deregister a VSAM sphere, select the VSAM sphere and then press F10 to open the menu bar. Next, place the cursor under Administrate and press Enter. Deregister the VSAM sphere in one of the following ways:

Select option 1 to deregister the specified sphere.
Move the cursor to the Deregister item in the pull-down menu, and press Enter.
Press the Deregister shortcut function key F11.

Automation

View or modify the CICS® VR automation level in one of the following ways:

Select option 2 to specify the Automation level.
Move the cursor to the Automation item in the pull-down menu and press Enter.

A panel opens allowing you to enable full automation. If full automation is enabled, CICS® VR builds and submits recovery or reorganization jobs without user intervention. These jobs are for VSAM data sets where backout failures were alerted and registered. A separate job is submitted for each affected data set.

If full automation is not enabled, you must use the CICS® VR panel dialog manually to build and submit recovery or reorganization jobs.

For further information on automation, see the discussion of Automated Recovery in the Automated Recovery and ReorganizationCICS® VR Implementation Guide and Reference.

To obtain information about each menu item, move the cursor to an item and press F1.
