Resuming a Recovery

Through the course of a recovery, as you recover saved items, the number of saved items decreases from step to step. During the recovery, you may need to leave the Select Recovery Items display, sign off the current session, or IPL the system. If you had already recovered many of the saved items in the recovery, you will want to resume the recovery with the remaining saved items. To resume a recovery, take the following steps:

1. Type STRRCYBRM at a command line and press F4 to prompt the display.
2. In the Option field, type *RESUME and press Enter to prompt the next parameter.

3. Press Enter to resume the recovery.

Using OPTION(*RESUME) on the Start Recovery using BRM (STRRCYBRM) command retrieves only those saved items remaining in the recovery. If this is the first time you have used the STRRCYBRM command in the current job, BRMS will present you with the Select Recovery Job display.

From this display you can identify and select the recovery job containing the recovery candidates you had previously been working with and you can continue with the recovery using those candidates.

You will not be able to select a recovery job if that job is still active.

You also will not be able to select the recovery job if you are not the user, unless you have *SECADM special authority.

See Concurrent Recovery for additional information about using option 6 to initiate a concurrent recovery using the same recovery candidates selected by another active job. You can use this option to assist in the recovery of object saved using parallel devices or objects saved on different media sets.
