RECALL command

The RECALL command allows you to reinstate an incremental image copy that was previously merged but retained in SYSIBM.SYSCOPY using the KEEP YES option of the COPY command.

BMC AMI Copy reinstates all incremental copies made with the RBA (or LRSN) specified with the RECALL command; that is, any corresponding local site backup, recovery site primary, and recovery site backup copies that exist are reinstated along with the local site primary copy.

When reinstating the copies,  changes the entry in the SYSIBM.SYSCOPY table from ICTYPE i to ICTYPE I.

You can mix RECALL and COPY commands in the SYSIN data set.

The following diagram shows the syntax for the RECALL command with defaults underscored.

When you use the RECALL command in the utility job input, the following rules apply:

  • The first option you specify must be TABLESPACE, RMGROUP, OBJECTSET, or APPLICATION (you can omit COPY).
  • You can specify the other options in any order.
  • The table space name and the ATRBA (or ATLOGPOINT) option are required.
  • An asterisk in column 1 in the SYSIN data set specifies that the line is a comment that will not be echoed in the SYSPRINT output. A double hyphen (--) coded in column 1 through 70 also makes the rest of the line a comment.
