A like-named conflict is identified when a catalog entry exists at the recovery site with the same name as the data set being recovered.
During like-named conflict checking, if the data set being recovered is a VSAM data set, each component of the source VSAM data set is used to locate a like-named conflict. The action taken to resolve the conflict is discussed below under each conflict resolution subparameter.
If a like-named conflict is detected, the conflict is resolved by the following order of conflict resolution actions:
If valid, a message is issued indicating an action to take to resolve the conflict during EXECUTE processing. If the action is invalid, a message is issued indicating this, and conflict resolution processing is continued for the data set.
If the conflict was found for a component of a VSAM data set, an entry must be found in the conflict resolution data set for the related source VSAM cluster name. If found, the action specified for the related source VSAM cluster name is used to resolve the conflict for the cluster and all the components.
If valid, a message is issued indicating an action to take to resolve the conflict during EXECUTE processing. If the action is invalid, a message is issued indicating this, and conflict resolution processing is continued for the data set.
