Issue/Introduction

When a RC/Migrator for Db2 for z/OS (RCM) strategy is analyzed with the RECOVERY option set to YES, it is observed that the SYNC points are generated with no value. 

For example: 

.CALL SNAPSHOT

.ALLOC FI(RCVRFILE)

 DDL statement 1

.SYNC

 DDL statement 2

.SYNC

Why are there no values for the .SYNC points.

Resolution

The sync points with no value are in the recovery section. These sync points are just markers and the values will not be generated until the Analysis DDLFILE
is executed through Batch Processor. It is only then that the Snapshot Analysis is performed and the Recovery DDL is generated and written
to your DROP RECOVERY Analysis Report, RCVRFILE. This Recovery DDL will include the Sync points now generated with values, similar to the following: 

 

 DDL statement 1

.SYNC 5 

 DDL statement 2 

.SYNC 10
