Recovering Control Groups with STRRCYBRM

While you cannot use the STRRCYBRM command to recover individual spooled files, document library objects (DLO), or folders, you can use it to recover the control group in which they were saved. To recover a control group with the STRRCYBRM command, take the following steps:

  1. Type STRRCYBRM at a command line and press F4 to prompt the display.
  2. Press F9 to prompt the remaining parameters.
                          Start Recovery using BRM (STRRCYBRM)

    At this display, you can override recovery policy values to, for example, specify a particular device or type of restore (for example, a parallel restore). Change the parameters as needed and press Enter to return to the Select Recovery Items display.

  13. After reviewing and changing the parameters as needed, press Enter to begin the restore. As STRRCYBRM processes your request, the Display Recovery Items display keeps you informed of the status of the recovery.
