Explanation: AGGREGATE(agname) is
a required parameter that identifies the aggregate group to be recovered.
When you specify AGGREGATE(agname), the most current version
of the backup output is used for recovery unless DATE or VERSION is
specified.
An ABR record must exist at the recovery site to support the AGGREGATE
parameter. During AGGREGATE processing, the ABR record is read for
the aggregate group. All files associated with the ABR record must
be cataloged. If the files are not cataloged and ABR records exist
for multiple copies, the process is repeated until an ABR record is
found for one of the copies, with the proper files cataloged. If
no ABR record is found with the proper files cataloged, a message
is issued and the ARECOVER AGGREGATE fails. If this occurs, you must
use ARECOVER DATASETNAME(
controlfiledsn) with the PREPARE
parameter to create the ABR record and catalog the proper files. See
How to create the ABR record to create the ABR record.
Note: - Do not specify AGGREGATE when DATASETNAME is specified.
- You must specify either EXECUTE, VERIFY, or PREPARE when AGGREGATE
is specified.
- If PREPARE is specified with the AGGREGATE parameter, INSTRUCTION,
ACTIVITY, or both parameters must also be specified.
Defaults: None.
