I tried giving all the datasets necessary for IMSDB backup, but still am getting this error. Could you please help me if I have missed any dataset concatenation ?. [/code]
Recon datasets are those datasets that needs to setup in any region by IMS DBA. Please check with IMS DBA of your org for missing recon datasets, they might help you in restoring the missing datasets which might solve your issue.
As mentioned by enrico in previous post check the action message from the log to understand more about the error.
As mentioned by enrico, I have already researched on that abend and here are my findings,

I am aware that RECON datasets will hold the log information in IMS and DBRC is an utility that runs in IMS environment used to take backup of IMS database, but I thought the log datasets mentioned in the jcl will take care of.
So is there a way I could resolve it by giving any missing datasets/parameters along with "PARM='ULU,DFSUDMP0'" OR should I only contact DBA.
did anybody care to look at the initial post and meditate on the message sequence before answering

looks like not, by looking at the advices given ...
the first message DFS671I
tells that the user has chosen to run with the recovery control feature activated
the second message DSP0245I
tells that because of the above the RECON related ( REcovery CONtrol ) ddname(s) is/are REQUIRED
since the user written jcl DOES not contain the RECON related dd statements
the job fails
the only way to solve the problem is to talk to the DB support group to ...
1) find out if the organization practices allow to take a backup/image copy outside of the recovery control environment
and disable the same in the parms
2) if 1 is not true ask the DB support group to amend the jcl with the proper ddnames
the messages are not informational ... THE JOB FAILS
no racf concerns... the job would have abended with different symptoms
I tried to give the RECON data sets, it showed me insufficient access authority.
I got an error telling, INTENT (UPDATE) ACCESS (READ), even though I am only taking backup.
So i thought it might be because of the DB being running. So I stopped the DB and then executed it in DLI mode. But even then I got the same access authority error telling that my intent is to UPDATE the DB rather than reading.
Could you please assist. I do also have a plan to discuss with DBA.
