Restore the TMC

The TMC is restored by reallocating the TMC (if necessary) and using the latest TMC backup tape. The Audit data set is then used as a transaction file to post all entries that have occurred since the last backup.

Important! A DASD RESTORE of the device holding the TMC may back level the TMC unless followed immediately by a TMSCOPY RESTORE of the TMC with the production Audit file. (The TMC should be allocated as unmovable, DSORG=PSU.) If disk volumes containing the TMC or Audit are reorganized, compacted, or compressed, exclude the TMC or Audit files. Do not run other tape jobs during the TMSCOPY RESTORE.
