What's new in CICS VR 6.3
CICS® VR 6.3 contains these changes.
Operating environment
CICS® VR uses logs to recover your VSAM data.
CICS VR Overview
Getting Started
CICS® VR and CICS® TS
CICS VR Exits
Running CICS® VR forward recovery
CICS® VR forward recovery consists of a restore and then forward recovery.
Running CICS® VR backup
The information in the following topics describe how to take a backup using CICS® VR. The panels and secondary windows are in the sequence that they are displayed during a backup job generation.
Running CICS® VR reorganization
You can reorganize a VSAM sphere using CICS® VR. VSAM sphere reorganization can increase the space of a sphere and its alternate indexes. It can also change the control interval sizes for a sphere's components.
Working with other VSAM sphere list pull-down menus
The CICS® VR recovery and backup functions are typically accessed using the Utilities pull-down menu after selecting VSAM spheres.
Working with CICS® Backout Failed spheres
The CICS® Backout Failed sphere list shows the CICS spheres registered for manual recovery or reorganization after CICS notification of a backout failure.
Working with logs
Using ISMF data set lists with CICS® VR
CICS® VR is integrated with ISMF so that you can create a CICS VR recovery job for the data sets in an ISMF data set list by entering the VSAMREC line operator or list command. When you enter the VSAMREC line operator or list command, the necessary CICS VR panels are called and you can create a recovery job for the VSAM sphere.
Running CICS® VR manually
IBM® recommends that you use the CICS® VR panel interface to create recovery jobs for your VSAM spheres. Using the CICS VR panel interface eliminates the need for you to manually keep track of daily update activity, logs, backups, etc. Also, the CICS VR panel interface automatically creates the recovery JCL for you.
Running CICS® VR batch backout
The CICS® VR batch backout utility allows you to remove updates that were made to KSDS, ESDS, RRDS, and VRRDS VSAM spheres by steps in a batch job. This section describes how to run the CICS VR batch backout utility.
Understanding CICS® VR reports
The CICS® VR forward recovery and batch backout utilities produce a set of reports upon successful completion. The reports are written to the data set allocated to the DWWPRINT ddname. However, the set of reports written for the forward recovery backout utilities differ from the set of reports written for the batch backout utilities.
Understanding IBM® program support
The IBM® Customer Engineering Program Support structure helps you resolve problems with IBM products, and ensures that you can make the best use of your IBM computing systems.
Problem determination procedures
If you have to contact IBM® personnel about a CICS® VR problem, you must classify and describe the problem.
Diagnosing the causes of abends
You can determine the cause of a CICS® VR abend in a number of ways.

A gap is encountered between record nn1 and record nn2 on log dddd when reading forward. Processing continues.

A gap in the sequence numbers between two label records is found in log dddd. The records are in the correct time sequence. That is, record nn1, which precedes record nn2 on the log, has an earlier time stamp. This message could mean that records needed for recovery are missing. Some possible causes are:

A log was skipped during archiving.
Label records were skipped over by a selective archiving program; records needed for recovery might also be skipped.
The journal archive control data set (JACD) is damaged or inaccessible, causing the wrong sequence numbers to be used on label records.
A log contained data other than log records.

This message is issued if command SEQCHKR GAPINSEQUENCE(WARNING) is specified, or WARNING is specified in the sequence checking secondary window.

CICS® VR continues the recovery.

Batch–Find out why there is a gap in the label records. (Check the contents of the log to see whether all records needed for recovery are present.) Rerun CICS® VR.
Remember to restore the VSAM data sets from the backup copies before you rerun CICS® VR.
Online–If a log containing records needed for recovery is missing, archive this log and rerun CICS® VR.
If all logs are present, find out why there is a gap in the label records. (Check the contents of the log to see whether all records needed for recovery are present.)
Remember to restore the VSAM data sets from the backup copies before you resubmit the recovery job.
