Recovered CI Print program overview

The Recovered CI Print program (DFRCIDM0) is an MVS™ batch program for printing an image of the recovered CIs that IMS DEDB Fast Recovery wrote in the RCIDUMP data set.

The images of recovered CIs are written in ascending order of DEDB areas.

The program writes the images of the CIs, except the control CIs and the cast-out CIs, in ascending order of RBAs for the area. For the cast-out CI, CAST OUT appears in the subheader in the recovered CI dump list.

The RCIDUMP data set contains the image of all CIs recovered by IMS DEDB Fast Recovery. You can select which CIs to print:
  • All CIs
  • All CIs in specific DEDBs
  • All CIs in specific areas
  • CIs in specific RBAs

You can specify the CI selection in the control statements for the Recovered CI Print program.

The Recovered CI Print program generates the following two lists:

  • Control statements and messages list

    This is a list of the specified control statements and the messages written by Recovered CI Print program.

  • Recovered CI dump list
    This list is a dump of the CIs specified on the control statements. In the first pages of the lists, the subsystem identifier of the IMS recovered by IMS DEDB Fast Recovery and the recovery date and time are listed. For the CI image, you can select either of the following formats:
    • The output format of the DFSMS AMS program
    • The output format of the MVS SNAP macro
