Before running a restore operation, you must plan what type of
restore you want to perform. Then, configure your system values to the required
settings to meet your needs. Then, when a restore operation is performed,
you will have the correct settings specified on your system.
To plan how you want objects restored on the system, answer the following
questions based on your company's needs:
- How cautious do you want to be about what is restored?
- Setting Convert objects during restore to Level
0 (0) is the least restrictive state and Level 7 (7)
is the most restrictive.
- What objects do you want to allow to be restored?
- Do you want to allow the Force object conversion
(FRCOBJCVN) parameter to override the Convert objects during restore (QFRCCVNRST)
system value?
The Convert objects during restore
value might be overridden. To see a list of compatible values for the Convert
objects during restore system value and the Force object conversion parameter
on the restore command, see the Effects of system value settings on restore
operations topic.
- What checking do you want performed for object signatures?
- Do you want to save access paths?
- Do you want to scan objects on the next access after
the restore operation is complete? This additional scan impacts the performance
of the system and might not be necessary. You need to consider what objects
you are restoring and what kind of performance impact the scan might cause.
Before determining whether to scan objects, consider the following information:
- Scanning might not be necessary if you are restoring your own objects
that were saved with the option to scan objects and not save objects that
failed the scan.
- Scanning might not be necessary if you are restoring objects that are
coming from a trusted source.
