SRDF/AR automates data copying across SRDF links to provide a logically consistent, restartable image of data at a remote (recovery) site. That image can be used should a disaster occur at the production site.
SRDF/AR automatically propagates the restartable image to the recovery site in a way that is transparent to the host application or database. The result is a series of consecutive data consistency points that you use as the basis for restarting host applications at the recover site.
The ResourcePak Base for z/OS and TimeFinder/Mirror for z/OS components of Mainframe Enablers provide commands to configure, manage, monitor, start, pause, restart, and stop SRDF/AR processes.
