To recover an individual data set from an aggregate backup version,
you can use ISMF panels, as described in this chapter.
Perform the following steps to recover an individual data set from
the backup copy of an aggregate group:
- To access the ARECOVER option for aggregate recovery, use TSO
ISPF panels to access the DFSMSdfp; aggregate group application selection
panel, shown in Figure 1.
- Select option 9, Aggregate Group, and press Enter. The Aggregate
Group Application Selection panel is displayed.
- Select option 6, ARECOVER, and press Enter to view the first Aggregate
Group Recover panel DFQDCAG5.”
- Specify the values for the aggregate group. Specify Y for the
field "Recover Individual Data Set". Press Enter to view the Aggregate
Recovery Group Panel DFQDCAGC (Figure 1).
- On the Aggregate Recovery Group Panel DFQDCAGC, specify either
a single data set name or the name of a data set that contains a list
of data sets to be recovered from the backup copy of an aggregate
group.
To create a list of data sets, use a fixed-block, sequential
data set with a record size of 80 and logical record length(LRECL)
of 80, and then catalog it. Edit the data set and specify one fully
qualified data set name per record.
- Enter the END command to submit the recover request.
