TO be specific, I asked Janet Sun, Mainstar's expert on ICF catalogs and how to handle them at the DR site for any additional comments she might have to the ones provided yesterday to your post. Here's what Janet responded with: "Here is another way to look at it. The last thing you will do daily is to run the tape management system job which creates the lists of tapes to go offsite. Immediately prior to running that job should be the job which backs up the tape management system database. Immediately prior to that should be the job which backs up your ICF catalogs. Immediately prior to that will be any other backups of system or DR related data sets that you run daily. There should not be any intervening jobs or time delays between these steps. Sometime prior to this the DB2 image copies will have completed." "The order of the recovery steps will be to do the full volume restores first, followed by the data set restores of the system data sets (including ICF catalogs and tape management system database), then you can start the DB2 system recoveries, followed by the applications themselves."
