RESTORING › RESTORE Optional Parameters › BIXLIST

BIXLIST

The BIXLIST parameter builds a file containing all of the base cluster names encountered on RESTORE that have AIXs defined over them. Alternate indexes are left empty since the intent is that GVBLDIX builds the AIXs in a subsequent step or job. Then GVBDLIX uses the BIXLIST data set to determine which AIXs to build.

Example

The following sample RESTORE job builds the file BLDCARDS:

//EXEC PGM=GVRESTOR
//BLDCARDS DD DSN=FAVER.BIXLIST,DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
//            UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(TRK,(1,1))
//SYSIN DD *
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT =A
//TAPE0    DD DSN=your.backup.file.name,DISP=SHR
  RESTORE BIXLIST=BLDCARDS
  CLUSTER
  CL=CL+

The following sample build index job uses the contents of the file FAVER.BIXLIST to determine which alternate indexes to build:

//EXEC PGM=GVBLDIX
//GVBCARDS DD DSN=FAVER.BIXLIST,DISP=SHR
//SYSIN DD *
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=A
//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=A
  BIXLIST=GVBCARDS
