Specifying backup type

To change the type of backup that is restored before forward recovery processing, place the cursor on the Backup type input field and press F4. The "CICS® VR Backup Type Selection" secondary window opens and you can select a backup type.

If any logical backups for the VSAM sphere are known to CICS VR, the default value is Logical. Otherwise, the default backup type is None.

Use the "CICS VR Backup Type Selection" secondary window to select from the following types of backups to restore:
None
Specifies that a backup does not exist for the selected VSAM sphere or you do not want CICS VR to create a recovery job to restore the VSAM sphere from a backup.
Logical
Specifies that you want CICS VR to restore the VSAM sphere from a logical backup that is known to CICS VR. CICS VR restores the logical backup that is selected from the CICS VR backup prompt list.
Full volume dump
Specifies that you want CICS VR to restore the VSAM sphere from a DFSMShsm full volume dump. Enter the date the full volume dump was created in the Backup time input field of the "CICS VR VSAM sphere parameters" secondary window.
No tie-ups
Specifies that you want CICS VR to restore the VSAM sphere from a backup taken by hardware, where there is no tie-up record on the log with a time stamp for the start of the backup. Selecting this backup type adds the NOTIEUPS keyword to the generated recovery job.
Specify the desired backup type, and press Enter.
