Recovery utility keywords


To perform a recovery from a T0 copy to alternate data sets, you specify required and optional keywords in the RVPSYSIN data set.

Keyword

Description

AUTH

Specify the required AUTH(N) keyword on the GLBL statement. This keyword disables DBRC authorization processing and permits recovery to alternate database data sets.

DUMPTYPE

Specify the optional or required DUMPTYPE(T) keyword on the GLBL, GROUP, REC, or AREC statement. This keyword tells the Recovery utility that you are using a T0 copy as input to the recovery process. This keyword is optional if the DBRC(Y) keyword is specified and required if the DBRC(N) keyword is specified.

Warning

Important

The Recovery Utility assumes that the input type is a T0 copy if you specify the AUTH(N) keyword and the T0NWNAME keyword. If these keywords are present on the GLBL or GROUP command and the input copy for one of the databases is not a T0 copy data set, the recovery fails for that data set group.

T0MGMTCL

Specify the optional T0MGMTCL(value) keyword on the GLBL, GROUP, REC, or AREC statement; value is the name of the SMS management class. This keyword specifies the SMS management class to use for the recovered database.

T0NWNAME

Specify the required T0NWNAME(newname_or_mask) keyword on the GLBL, GROUP, REC, or AREC statement. This keyword provides the information that the Recovery utility uses to build the new-name value for the DFSMSdss RENAMEU parameter.

You can specify the new data set name as a fully qualified name or as a mask. If you specify a mask, the Recovery utility constructs the new data set name by modifying the original name as indicated by the mask. If you specify a masked string, the string must adhere to the DFSMSdss masking rules for new data set names. For more information, see the DFSMSdss documentation.

In addition to the DFSMSdss masking rules, you can specify one or more question marks (?) to indicate a one-character replacement as part of the masked new data set name. For example, assume that the original data set has the following name:

RVP.QA.PROD.DBIC00E.SALES.DATA

You specify the following masked string:

*.*.T???.??T????.**

The Recovery utility creates the following new data set name:

RVP.QA.TROD.DBTC00E.SALES.DATA

T0STORCL

Specify the optional T0STORCL( value) keyword on the GLBL, GROUP, REC, or AREC statement; value is the name of the SMS storage class. This keyword specifies the SMS storage class to use for the recovered database.

T0VOLSER

Specify the optional T0VOLSER(volume1, volume2 ,... volume8) keyword on the GLBL, GROUP, REC, or AREC statement. This keyword specifies a maximum of eight specific VOLSERs to use for allocating the new data sets.
