Operating the Test Auto-Restore Hook Interface

One of the objectives of this interface is to allow you to activate an Auto-Restore environment at a release level different from that of your production system. The Test Auto-Restore system you just installed only operates on the job/task name , DD statement name or both that match the values you set for ARDJOBEXC and ARDDNEXC sysparms.

For example, with sysparm ARDDNEXC set to a value of TESTAR, the Test Auto-Restore Hook Interface is invoked for all jobs displaying the TESTAR DD statement as shown in the following illustration:

Note: The ARDDNEXC only operates successfully on archived data sets that are referenced dynamically.

The convenient quality of this environment is that you can now thoroughly test this new Auto-Restore system without impacting your production system.
