Restore Initiation via JAVA Interface
An alternate method of initiating an UPSTREAM USS restore request, is via the supplied UPSTREAM JAVA workstation interface. This interface is a JAVA application program that is installed on a workstation system (Microsoft Windows, AIX, HP/UX, etc.). It connects with the UPSTREAM MVS Started Task or the UPSTREAM USS process depending on the function requested.
The following section outlines a UPSTREAM restore request via the JAVA interface on a Microsoft Windows system.
Step # 1 - Start the UPSTREAM Java End User Restore Program
To start the UPSTREAM JAVA End User Restore Interface, select the “START” button, then the “FDR_UPSTREAM” program group and finally the “End User Restore” application item. This will begin execution of the interface.

Step # 2 - Login to the UPSTREAM MVS Started Task
The next menu to appear, see Figure 67 - Restore via JAVA Interface - Login Menu below, will connect the workstation to the UPSTREAM MVS Started Task and optionally validate, via the installed host security system, a User ID and Password. See the UPSTREAM MVS Security section regarding the processing of the different levels of security available via the UPSTREAM MVS Started Task.
Enter a previously created Backup Profile Name in the “Profile:” field. If you do not know the name of your Backup Profile, consult with your UPSTREAM administrator or see page 109 ”Creating a Backup Profile” for information on creating a Backup Profile. Since you are attempting to restore from a previously taken backup, a backup profile most likely will have been already created for you to use.
Optionally, enter a valid z/OS security system User ID and password in the appropriate menu fields and then click on the “OK” button to proceed.

Step # 4 - Select the File(s) to be Used for This Restore Request
Continue to “drill down” the displayed tree until you can identify the file or files you wish to restore.

Then press the “Add Files” button to make it appear in the bottom “List of Files to Restore:” pane. Additional help is available via the HELP menu dropdown item or by pressing the F1 key.
After selecting the file, select the “Restore Options” button located on the lower center of the menu.
