Backward Recovery

Use backward recovery when one or more update jobs need to be reversed (backed out). For example, if you did not specify transaction backout for a program and a failure occurs, the database is not in a logically consistent state. To perform backward recovery, execute the RECOVERY OPTION=BACKWARD function of DBUTLTY. Backward 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.
