Initializing the RECON Data Sets

After you create the RECON data sets, you must initialize them by using the INIT.RECON command (issued as an input command JCL statement to the Database Recovery Control utility). This causes the RECON header records to be written in both current RECON data sets.

The RECON header records must be the first records written to the RECON data sets because they identify the RECON data sets to DBRC.
