DBRC (Database Recovery Control) is an IMS tool that controls logging and recovery of IMS databases. It stores database recovery information in RECON (Recovery Control) data sets. DBRC manages log control, recovery control, and share control through these records. It controls online log data sets, secondary log data sets, and other logs to enable full or time stamp recovery of databases. DBRC also controls database sharing levels to determine which subsystems can access and update databases.
