OPSVIEW Utilities Option › How to Restore Global Variables and RDF Tables (Option 7.6) › Restore RDF TABLES

Restore RDF TABLES

When you select option 7.6.3, the Restore RDF Tables Panel appears. Enter the letter R before an RDF TABLE name to restore that table into production. You can enter a name to restore and optionally a new name, so that the table is copied to production with the new name. You can also hit ENTER to display a list of tables eligible for restore.

The following screen is a sample panel:

RDF Table Restore---------------------------------------- OPSVIEW    SUBSYS(OPSV)
Option ===>

       R - Reload table
                    blank - Display table list

Specify Relational Table:
   Name     ===>________________________ (Required)
   New Name ===>________________________ (Optional)

Enter END command to return to SYSCHK1 Restore Menu

The following screen is a sample panel when you hit enter on the 7.6.3 panel:

Backup RDF TABLES--------------------- RDF Table List for dataset xyz.yyy 
Command ===>_______________________
    OPTIONS: R - Reload table
 Sel Table                       Restored name
 ___ @JEST1                      _______________________
 ___ @JEST2                      _______________________
 ___ @JEST3                      _______________________

You can enter R to restore the selected table. You can enter a new table name under the RESTORED NAME column to restore the table to a new name. If the table name exists in the production, you are prompted with a panel. This panel asks, if you wish to continue or to cancel the operation.

Copy any tables under SSM control or in use by automation to a NEW name that is not in use. Once the contents are verified, manually delete, or rename the target table, then rename the restored table to the target name. If an SSM table it is necessary remove it from SSM control before restoring to the original table name.

Restore Local SYSCHK1 From Backup

This option lets you restore a GLV backup dataset to a new or existing local SYSCHK1 VSAM Linear dataset for use in the other GLV selective restore options. You can also use the resulting restored dataset as a live GLV SYSCHK1 for test versions of OPS/MVS.

1. Enter a fully qualified backup dataset name or a partial name containing the wildcard mask characters (%,*). ‘%’ represents a single wildcard character while ‘*’ represents a multicharacter wildcard string.

   The backup dataset must have DCB attributes LRECL=BLKSIZE=4096 to be a valid backup dataset. If mask characters are used, a list of matching dataset names display.

2. Enter OPSLDS in the command field of the desired dataset and hit PF3 to return to the restore screen.

   The number of blocks in the dataset and the dataset create date display and you selected the backup dataset to restore.

3. Enter the fully qualified name of the VSAM SYSCHK1 dataset that is being restored.

   The dataset name can contain mask characters and is resolved in the same way as the backup dataset. If the dataset name is fully qualified but does not yet exist, you can allocate the dataset using the allocation parameters fields.

4. Enter the CHKALOC primary command in the command line to complete the allocation. The SYSCHK1 dataset selection is now complete.

   Note: The CHKALOC command is only required when a new SYSCHK1 dataset is the target of the restore. Otherwise, you perform the CHKLOAD command to restore an existing SYSCHK1 dataset.

5. Enter the CHKLOAD primary command in the command line and the restore is executed.

   The following example shows the 7.6.4 panel:

 Restore Local SYSCHK1 ----------- O P S V I E W --------------- Subsystem OPSX
 Command ===>                                                                   

 Enter the complete DSN of an existing backup or a DSN wildcard (%,*) mask.     
 Backup DSN:                                                                    

 Enter the complete DSN of an existing or new SYSCHK1 or a DSN wildcard mask.   
 SYSCHK1 DSN:

   Storage class   ===>            (SMS storage class)                          
   Volume serial   ===>            (Blank for default volume)                   
   Space units     ===>            (RECORDS,CYLS,TRKS)                          
   Primary units   ===>            (In above units)                             
   Secondary units ===>            (In above units)                             

 Enter CHKLOAD command to restore the SYSCHK1 data set                          
 Enter END command to return to the SYSCHK1 Restore Options Menu
