IMOD Source Recovery

If the system fails while you are processing a command that involves updating, you can recover your IMOD source by retrieving a temporary copy of the original.

Before updating, the IMOD being updated is saved under a temporary name. If the operation completes, this temporary copy is deleted. If the system fails, the temporary copy is retained for you to retrieve. The following table defines the names of the temporary copies:

Update From

Temporary Copy Name

Variable Contents

TSO

$$$SAV_userid

Your TSO user ID

Batch

$$$SAVB_jobname

The job name of the batch job performing the update

You can browse, rename, or delete a temporary copy, but you cannot edit or compile it.
