System Parameters for Restore/Recover

By default, CA Disk issues a catalog locate for each data set being explicitly restored, unless a specific target volume is given. For volume recovery functions, these catalog locates are bypassed. Another locate is done in preparing the restore report. Both restore and recovery tasks normally skips any preallocated version of a data set. Common RESTORE/RECOVER sysparms to review in order to change these defaults are the following:

Sysparm

Description

RESCHCAT

for volume selection for non-VSAM during Restore

RECCHCAT

for volume selection for non-VSAM during Recover

PREALLOC

controls whether or not to overwrite preallocated data sets
