S6BTLFRL is used by the TIBCO Object Service Broker backup and recovery procedures to format the redolog. It can also be used to format a duplex copy of the redolog if present. If the redolog is duplexed as defined in the DBGEN statement, a single execution of S6BTLFRL formats both the primary and duplex data sets if they are empty.
S6BTLFRL by default formats only empty data sets. If you specify the FORCE parameter, S6BTLFRL formats the redolog data set even if valid data appears to be present in the log. In most situations, you should delete and redefine the data set being formatted before invoking this utility. The redolog is defined using a standard system utility such as IDCAMS.
S6BTLFRL can also be used to produce a copy of the redolog. This could be necessary, for example, if a redolog or its duplex is damaged. Before you restart TIBCO Object Service Broker, create a copy of the good data set: whichever of the redolog or its duplex that is not damaged. Refer to
Invocation for Copying.
The S6BTLFRL member of the JCL data set distributed with TIBCO Object Service Broker contains sample JCL required to run this utility. This sample is provided as a reference only; modify the JCL for your needs.
