Priority Sequencing Your Recovery Report

There are times where the sequence of when you restore a specific library becomes important. Many times it is because of dependencies that objects have across libraries. To assist in these situations, BRMS has provided a way to prioritize these libraries as well as list them ahead in the recovery report, before all the other user libraries. To be able to use this useful function you will need to generate a list of these libraries (recovery order list) in the order that you wish them to be. Once that list has been made, use this list on the Start Recovery using BRMS (STRRCYBRM) command.

To create your recovery order list, take the following steps:

  1. Create an object list by typing Work with Lists using BRM (WRKLBRM) command and press Enter.

  7. In the Seq field, place a number which reflects the order in which you want the library to appear on the report. This is arranged in increments of 10 of the sequence you specified.
  8. In the Library field, specify the name of the library that you wish to be in this recovery order list.
  9. In the Object, Type, and Member fields, specify *ALL.
  10. Press Enter, and repeat steps 7 through 9 for the amount of libraries you want added to this list.
  11. Press Enter once more, the BRMS will create the list and exit out to the Work with Lists panel.

To use the created recovery order list with the recovery report, take the following steps:

  1. Type STRRCYBRM at a command line and press F4 to prompt the display.
  2. Press F10 for the additional parameters.

            Any logical/physical file dependencies are now handled by BRMS.  A                          
            BRMS defined ID of Q1ARSTID will be used for the Defer ID (DFRID)                           
            parameter on RSTLIB and RSTOBJ commands.  This parameter allows you                         
            to restore all objects in a set of libraries when the libraries with                        
            dependent objects are restored before the libraries with the objects                        
            they depend on.

            -----  Attention  ---------------------------------------------------                       
            If you use journaling, the libraries containing the journals must be                        
            restored before restoring the libraries containing the journaled files.
