Disaster recovery facilities

This section looks at the various alternatives for achieving disaster recovery with CICS® and also looks at utilities that can aid the process.

MVS system logger recovery support
The MVS™ system logger provides support that enables a recovery resource manager to be associated with a log stream (that is, a local recovery resource manager operating on behalf of a remote site).
CICS VSAM Recovery QSAM copy
CICS VSAM Recovery (CICS VR) provides a QSAM copy function that can copy MVS log streams to a QSAM data set.
Remote Recovery Data Facility support
The Remote Recovery Data Facility (RRDF) product from the E-Net Corporation supports the CICS log manager.
CICS VR shadowing
CICS VR provides a data shadowing facility. Shadowing helps to reduce recovery time by applying forward recovery logs periodically at the remote site. See CICS VR documentation for a complete explanation.
