CSI International: Mainframe Software Solutions

Reliant

Reliant allows users to recreate a file’s condition prior to a disk failure or file deletion, using a file backup and the appropriate journals.
Reliant provides batch programs with the type of journaling support for VSAM datasets that is provided by CICS for online programs, ensuring total recovery for your online and batch systems.
Application programmers need not include specialized change-log logic in their CICS programs if the IBM-supplied automatic journaling feature of CICS is used. This feature, along with Reliant, is all that is needed to provide VSAM file recovery.
Reliant provides a batch journaling facility that is analogous to CICS journaling, allowing recovery of VSAM updates made in a batch environment without re-running the batch jobs.
Reliant will re-apply changes made since the latest backup after a destroyed VSAM file has been restored.
Verification software and procedures are included that ensure the correct execution of all the steps involved in the recovery process—the CICS journaling, your backup and restore system, and the Reliant software.
