Steps for restoring the VSAM data sets

Perform the following steps to restore the VSAM data sets using the DFSMSdss RESTORE command.

Procedure

  1. Copy the sample JCL in SYS1.SAMPLIB(IKYVREST) to your JCL data set. (See IKYVREST for a code sample of this file.)
  2. Update the JCL as directed in the instructions in the prolog of the sample JCL:
    1. Change the job card.
    2. If you are not using the default data set qualifiers, change all occurrences of "PKISRVD.VSAM" to the qualifiers you are using.
    3. If you changed the default data set name for the BACKUPDS DD in the IKYVBKUP JCL, change the data set name (DSN) value in the BACKUPDS DD statement to match.
  3. Stop the PKI Services address space. For information about how to do this, see Starting and stopping PKI Services.
  4. Submit the job.
  5. When the job has completed, restart the PKI Services address space. For information about how to do this, see Starting and stopping PKI Services.

Results

When you are done, you have restored the PKI Services VSAM files from a backup data set.
