When to Use Active Recovery

The SPILL function can be run at any time to request that the MUF spill any spillable blocks to the Recovery File. This would be used in the situation of having run a job which ended but you need to run backward recovery to reverse the job. If the full job's logging records have not been spilled, run this spill. If any blocks are spillable (and a spill is not active), a spill is started. At its completion, the date/time stamp in the DB00310 message provides information to tell if the job is completely spilled. If not, wait a while and rerun the spill.
