Response
Explanation
CONT
IMS DEDB Fast Recovery gives up recovering the areas whose structure failed to be connected. If CFRET=N is specified, these areas are registered as unavailable. See the DEDB Area Status list and run the Database Recovery utility to recover the area data set. If CFRET=Y is specified, nothing is done for these areas. The area needs another IMS DEDB Fast Recovery execution. Analyze the cause of the error and correct it. Prepare the Area Recovery Retry Statement and run IMS DEDB Fast Recovery again, if necessary.
RETRY
IMS DEDB Fast Recovery tries to connect the areas whose structure failed to be connected again. Analyze the cause of the error according to the previous message DFR3600I, correct it, and then reply with the word 'RETRY'. (No action for connected areas.) In this case, if another IMS sharing the areas saves the areas into DASD using the VUNLOAD command, IMS DEDB Fast Recovery does not try to connect the areas again. If any areas that lost the connections remain, a DFR3600I message and a DFR3601A message are shown again.
TERM
IMS DEDB Fast Recovery ends execution. No recovery is done.
