Setup Recovery Procedures

The TSSRECVR utility provides recovery-processing services for the security file. TSSRECVR uses the records kept by the recovery file to recover all changes made to the security file. For TSSRECVR to be effective, the recovery control option, RECOVER(ON), must have been in effect. RECOVER(ON) should be specified during installation. It can, however, be specified by an operator O/S MODIFY or TSS MODIFY command.

TSSRECVR recovers the security file in two phases: First, TSS commands are generated from the recovery file, then BATCH TMP executes the TSS commands.

TSSRECVR requires that two JCL procedures are setup:

TSSRCVR1

Retrieves changes from the recovery file that occurred after the time and date specified in the EXEC PARM. You must add DATE to the EXEC PARM field before executing TSSRCVR1. The optional TIME parameter can also be added. The correct format is as follows:

EXEC PGM=TSSRECVR,PARM='TIME(hhmm),DATE(yyddd)' 

or

EXEC PGM=TSSRECVR,PARM='TIME(hhmm),DATE(‑nn)'
hhmm

Specifies the hour and minute for selecting recovery records. This should be the time of the last security file backup.

yyddd

Specifies the earliest date (in Julian format) for selecting recovery records.

nn

Is the number of previous days for which you want to retrieve changes from the recovery file.

To use the contents of the entire recovery file, specify TIME(0000),DATE(00000).

TSSRCVR2

Applies the changes to the backup security file.

Note: During installation, the TSSRECVR JCL, TSSRCVR1 and TSSRCVR2, should be setup.
