Previous Topic: ACFRECVR - Performing RecoveriesNext Topic: Selecting Parameters


Prerequisites

Run this utility under NOAUTO mode. Do not issue the ACFSERVE ENABLE NOAUTO UPDATE command. When recovery is complete, IPL the system to run in your regular mode. The rest of this section describes the files the ACFRECVR utility uses.

Define all CA ACF2 for z/VM databases the ACFRECVR utility is updating. If one or more of the databases you are updating is a VSAM cluster, issue a CMS DLBL command for the VSAM catalog that defines the clusters. The format is:

DLBL IJSYSCT fm DSN catname (VSAM

You must use a CMS DLBL command to identify VSAM databases. You must identify CMS databases by a CMS FILEDEF command.

SYSIN

This file provides on method of specifying parameters to ACFRECVR. See Common Files in “The Reports” chapter for information about the SYSIN file. If you do not define SYSIN by a FILEDEF, you are prompted to enter the ACFRECVR parameter from your terminal.

LID

The Logonid database. If you are not updating this database, specify NOLID as the parameter.

RULES

The Rule database. If you are not updating this database, specify NORULE as the parameter.

INFO

The Rule database. If you are not updating this database, specify NOINFO as the parameter.

RECxxxxx

The SMF files containing the information to update the databases with. This can be one or many files. These files must have a filename of SMF. The filetype is normally in the format of yydddnnn, where yyddd is the Julian date and nnn is a sequential number.

ACFRECVR prompts you to enter the filetype of each SMF file you are processing. For complete recovery, specify all SMF files that have any records since the last database backup. ACFRECVR checks the time stamps in the records to ensure that it applies only updates made since the last backup.

SMFxxxxx

This file is the same as RECxxxxx above.

SYSPRINT

This is the report file. It lists each record processed and the disposition of that record. ACFRECVR directs SYSPRINT to your virtual printer. If you specified the TERMINAL parameter, this file is not used (the output is directed to your terminal).
