Describing the contents of your user auxiliary storage pools

To choose the correct procedure for recovering the information on your user auxiliary storage pools (ASPs)s, you must understand what they looked like before the failure.

Figure 1 shows an example of a user ASP configuration. This example is used throughout the explanations that follow. You might want to begin by drawing a similar picture of your configuration.

Figure 1. User ASP configuration before failure

In the example:

ASP 2 is a library user ASP. It contains these libraries: ORDLIB, TRANLIB, and $JRNLB.
Files in the ORDLIB library and TRANLIB library are journaled to the JRNB journal in the $JRNLB library.
The journal receivers for the JRNB journal are in the $RCVRB library in ASP 4.
ASP 3 is a library user ASP containing documents and folders.
ASP 4 is a library user ASP. It contains the $RCVRB library.
ASP 5 is a nonlibrary user ASP. It contains the ORDSAV save file. ORDSAV is in the SAVFLIB library, which is in the system ASP. It also contains the RCVA0003 journal receiver, which is in the $JRNLA library.

Before the failure, the receiver directory for the JRNA journal looks as follows:

 
                         Work with Receiver Directory
 
Journal  . . . . . . :   JRNA            Library  . . . . . . :   $JRNLA
 
Total size of receivers (in kolobytes). . . . . . . . . . . . :   155648
 
Type options, press Enter.
