REVALIDATE OBJECTSETS option descriptions


Specify one or more object sets to be revalidated in the form creator.name.

You can use a wildcard pattern to specify multiple object sets. You can repeat the REVALIDATE OBJECTSET statement for as many object sets as you want to process. If you are using the Recovery Management for Db2 solution, this command can revalidate the mirroring status of the object sets. For more information, see Revalidating mirroring for object sets.

Choose one of the following recovery points for validation:


Value

Description

TOCURRENT

This revalidation point is the default. When you specify a revalidation to the current time, the most recent full and incremental copies are used to revalidate the spaces, in addition to the Db2 log records that are used to make the space's current. The RECOVER syntax defaults to TOCURRENT.

TOCOPY

Specify this value to revalidate to a specific full image copy or an incremental image copy registered in SYSIBM.SYSCOPY. You identify the copy by specifying a number from 0 through 99 where 0 represents the most recent copy made and 99 represents the 100th previous copy.

For the purpose of identifying the copy, a DFSMS concurrent copy is registered in SYSIBM.SYSCOPY is counted as an image copy.

TOFULLCOPY

Specify this value to revalidate only to a specific full image copy registered in SYSIBM.SYSCOPY. You identify the copy by specifying a number from 0 through 99 where 0 represents the most recent copy made and 99 represents the 100th previous copy. BMC AMI Recovery Manager ignores any existing incremental image copies when searching for the specified previous copy.

For the purpose of identifying the copy, a DFSMS concurrent copy is registered in SYSIBM.SYSCOPY is counted as an image copy.

TOQUIESCE

Specify this value when you want to revalidate each object to a specified quiesce point registered in SYSIBM.SYSCOPY by the Db2 QUIESCE command. Similarly, to revalidate to an image copy, you identify the quiesce point by specifying a number from 0 through 99, where 0 is the most recent quiesce point.

TOLOGPOINT

Specify this value when you want to revalidate to a log point (RBA or LRSN). You must supply the value (a 12-digit hexadecimal number).

TORESTARTRBA

Specify this type of recovery when making preparations at the local site to recover applications at a recovery site. When you specify TORESTARTRBA, ARMBGEN retrieves the recovery point RBA stored by the ARMBSRR program and performs the same analysis as a recovery to an RBA. Because the actual recovery is performed after a conditional restart, the generated JCL is for a recover to the current point in time. This option is for use at the local site only--it should not be used at a recovery site as part of disaster recovery.

TOTIMESTAMP

This is valid only for Recovery Management for Db2 solution. It revalidates recovery to a specified timestamp.

  • yyyy-mm-dd-hh.mm.ss.tttttt—Specifies a specific timestamp in the yyyy-mm-dd-hh.mm.ss.tttttt format.
  • CURRENT MINUS HOURS n—Specifies the number of hours to subtract from the current TIMESTAMP. The valid values are from 1 to 960. This option is mutually exclusive with CURRENT_MINUS_DAYS n.
  • CURRENT MINUS DAYS n—Specifies the number of days to subtract from the current TIMESTAMP. The valid values are from 1 to 40. This option is mutually exclusive with CURRENT_MINUS_HOURS n.

For more information about timestamp recovery, see the Recovery Management for Db2 documentation.

TOLOGMARK

Specify this value to revalidate a BMC AMI Log Master for Db2 log mark, which is registered in the Log Master ALPMARK table. You identify the log mark by specifying the log mark name and a version number from 0 through 99, where 0 represents the most recent log mark made and 99 represents the 100th previous log mark.

This option requires the use of a Recovery Management for Db2 solution password.

REVALIDATE MIRROR SYSTEM

Specify this command to revalidate mirrored system resources. Exceptions are written to the ARMXCEPT file. For more information, see Revalidating mirroring for system objects.
