OPSVIEW Utilities Option › How to Restore an Archived OPSLOG (Option 7.1.3) › Specifying the Restoration Method

Specifying the Restoration Method

The Restore from Archive panel asks you to specify the Execution Mode (either Foreground or Started Task). If you specify Started Task, you must enter the name of the started task in the Started Task Name field. (The name must represent a valid started task procedure in a valid procedure library.)

Notes:

• Before attempting to use the started task mode of OPSLOG Restore, you must modify this procedure to your installation standards. A sample procedure is provided in the RESTJOB member of the OPS.CCLXCNTL data set.
• If you select the Foreground mode, a large virtual storage region may be necessary, depending on the size of the archived OPSLOG. However, there are no special virtual storage requirements in Started Task mode.

Both the TSO user and the Started Task require read and update access to the global variable GLOBAL0.OPSLOG.RESTORE. Therefore, you must enable a security (SEC) rule before you specify the Started Task mode. This rule must also be tailored to your installation needs. For a sample of such a SEC rule, see the RESTSECG member in the OPS.CCLXRULB data set.
