Use the "CICS® VR VSAM sphere default parameters" secondary window to apply one set of recovery parameters to all of the selected VSAM spheres during construction of the recovery job.
If you select forward recovery for the selected VSAM spheres, and if Y was entered in the Use default parameters for selected spheres field, the "CICS VR VSAM sphere default parameters" secondary window is displayed:

Backup type is a required field; all of the selected VSAM spheres must have the same backup type.
See General backup notification,Understanding CICS VR backup support and Restore skeletonsfor further information.

Time format is a required field and specifies the time format used on the logs of the selected VSAM spheres. All selected VSAM spheres must have the same time format. Changing the time format does not automatically adjust any previously entered dates and times to the newly selected format. After changing the time format, be sure to adjust any entered dates and times on the "CICS VR VSAM sphere default parameters" secondary window accordingly.
The "CICS VR Time Format Selection" secondary window allows you to select from the following time formats:
For example, if you enter RECOVERD as the VSAM sphere name extension, select Logical as the backup type, and select VSAM sphere PAYROLL.BASE for a recovery, CICS VR creates a recovery job that restores VSAM sphere PAYROLL.BASE from its most recent logical backup to PAYROLL.BASE.RECOVERD. All after-images are applied to PAYROLL.BASE.RECOVERD. If you do not enter a VSAM sphere name extension, the original VSAM sphere is replaced during the restore and recover.
For all non-DFSMShsm backups, the restore skeleton associated with the product identifier of the logical backup must contain logic to check for the existence of the CNEWDSN variable and use it if available. The CNEWDSN variable contains the fully qualified sphere name with the appended extension. See the Restore skeletons for more information about restore skeletons.
For example, if you enter RECOVERD as the VSAM sphere name extension, select None as the backup type, and select VSAM sphere PAYROLL.BASE for a recovery, CICS VR creates a recovery job that applies the after-images of VSAM sphere PAYROLL.BASE to VSAM sphere PAYROLL.BASE.RECOVERD. If you do not enter a VSAM sphere name extension, the after-images are applied to the original VSAM sphere.
For all non-DFSMShsm backups, the restore skeleton that matches the product identifier of the backup checks for the existence of the CNEWVOL variable and uses it if available. The CNEWVOL variable contains the name of the new volume entered through the panel interface.
For all non-DFSMShsm backups, the restore skeleton that matches the product identifier of the backup checks for the existence of the CNEWUNIT variable and uses it if available. The CNEWUNIT variable contains the name of the new unit entered through the panel interface.
