Forward Recovery

Use forward recovery when one or more data areas in a database are not physically accessible, for example when the physical data pack is destroyed. Load to disk the latest backup copy of the database or selected areas in the database and use the RECOVERY OPTION=FORWARD function of DBUTLTY to apply the RXXs that were created during and after the backup was started originally to the backup. Forward recovery is not possible if you specify LOGRCV NEVER in the MUF startup options. For more information, see the chapter on the RECOVERY function in the CA Datacom/DB DBUTLTY Reference Guide.
