Recovering Objects without Object Detail

Even if you have not instructed BRMS to retain object detail, you can still restore individual or groups of objects. To do so, use the Work with Media Information (WRKMEDIBRM) command to restore the library that contains the object or objects that you want to restore. To get there, take the following steps:

1. Type WRKMEDIBRM at a command line and press Enter.
2. Type a 7 (Restore) next to the item that contains the object you want to restore. Press Enter.
