Restore JCL

The following JCL procedures restore the security and recovery files from tape to DASD:

SMSRESTR

Restores the security or recovery file to DASD over the old file.

TSSRESTN, SMSRESTN

For use with the security file only. Allocates space on DASD, then restores the security file to DASD in the newly allocated space.

TSSRESTN uses the IEHMOVE utility. SMSRESTR and SMSRESTN use the DFDSS utility. Sites with an SMS environment should use the DFDSS utility or an equivalent utility (for example, CA ASM2 Backup and Restore, FDR) which supports the SMS environment.

SMSRESTR should be set up to restore the security file. If it becomes necessary to restore the recovery file, specify the correct file when executing the task.
