Activating Forward Recovery

The space allocation (primary, secondary, and type) and unit name of the forward recovery data sets are defined and enabled with the following initialization parameters:

RCVPRIM=nnnn

Specifies the primary space allocation for the forward recovery data sets.

This parameter activates the forward recovery data set; with the next backup cycle, forward recovery data sets are created.

RCVSEC=nnnn

Specifies the secondary space allocation for the forward recovery data sets.

This optional parameter is used when the primary space allocation is exhausted.

RCVSPACE=
TRKS|CYLS

Specifies whether the space allocation for the forward recovery data sets are to be obtained in tracks (TRKS) or cylinders (CYLS).

The default space allocation is tracks. This parameter is optional.

RCVUNIT=unit

Specifies the unit name or unit type where the forward recovery data sets are to be allocated.

This parameter is required for the forward recovery data set to be activated. Verify that the forward recovery data sets are not allocated on the same volumes on which the database resides.
