Utilities and Procedures › CATVMFRV - Recover the Volume Master File › Process

Process

The recovery process uses the Volume Master File recovery program TLMSRECV. After restoring the VMF, execute the TLMSRECV program, supplying as input all of the log data sets that were created since the last backup of the VMF. After successful completion of the VMF recovery, it will be necessary to re-create the VMF index file (see "CATVMFXI - Initialize or Re-create the VMF Index File" on CATVMFXI - Initialize or Recreate the VMF Index File in this guide).

Note: TLMSRECV will only recover the ALOG transactions that are newer than the date/time stamp from the VMF Backup (DD CAIBVMF).
